A Long-Awaited Payday for RCB
After 18 years of heartbreaks, RCB fans finally got their moment. Kohli cried, Anushka hugged, and Bengaluru erupted. But it wasn’t just emotional—it was expensive too. IPL prize money 2025 proved that winning in cricket today also means serious cash.
As a comparison, back in 2008, the winning prize was just ₹4.8 crore. Fast forward to now, and that figure has more than quadrupled. Cricket, clearly, is aging like wine—and printing like mint.
