This flawless run marks the first time in IPL history that a franchise has gone undefeated in every away fixture of the league stage.
Dominance Across Conditions
From spinning wickets in Chennai to high-scoring battles in Mumbai and Hyderabad, RCB showed remarkable adaptability, proving their depth, game awareness, and composure under pressure. The team’s ability to perform consistently outside their home ground, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, was instrumental in securing a top-two finish on the points table.

- vs CSK (Chepauk): Won by 5 wickets
- vs MI (Wankhede): Won by 14 runs
- vs DC (Arun Jaitley): Won by 6 wickets

Kohli and Faf Lead from the Front
RCB’s opening pair — Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis — were key contributors in several away wins, consistently giving the team solid starts. Kohli’s experience in building innings on challenging wickets, paired with Faf’s aggression, helped RCB neutralize home crowd advantages.

- Faf’s Away Stats: 310 runs, 3 fifties
- Team Strike Rate (away): 146+
Bowlers Stepped Up on the Road
While the batters laid strong foundations, the bowling unit — led by Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj, and Wanindu Hasaranga — delivered under pressure. Their ability to take early wickets and defend scores in unfamiliar conditions gave RCB the upper hand across venues.
- Hazlewood: 10 wickets in away games
- Siraj: Economy under 7.5
- Hasaranga: 8 crucial middle-over breakthroughs
A Psychological Edge for the Playoffs
With most IPL 2025 playoff matches scheduled at neutral venues, RCB’s away record provides a strong psychological edge. The players have shown they can adapt to any pitch and crowd, giving them confidence as they eye their first-ever IPL title.
RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar commented:
“We’ve prepared well for every venue. The boys have stuck to plans and executed brilliantly. This away record reflects our intent and discipline.”
Final Word
RCB’s 7-0 away record in IPL 2025 is not just a statistical achievement — it’s a statement of intent. As the playoffs approach, this momentum and versatility make them one of the most feared sides in the competition.
