In the Indian Premier League (IPL), numbers often speak louder than statistics. While form, strategy, and skill dominate headlines, there is another force some fans swear by that is numerology. And for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), a peculiar superstition threatens to overshadow their long-awaited return to the IPL final.

Colour Curse For RCB In IPL

No team donning red as its primary jersey colour has ever lifted the IPL trophy. RCB, iconic in their red and gold, have made it to the finals three times, only to fall at the final hurdle each time. Punjab Kings, another team with the red jersey, have similarly never claimed the coveted title.

It is important to mention that in 2025. The numerological total of the year adds up to 9 (2+2+5). The final is scheduled for June 3, another date that totals 9. Mars, the planet that governs this number, is once again in the spotlight and so is RCB.

Mars symbolises ambition, aggression, bold decisions, and sudden twists. Traits that connect with RCB’s playing style over the years that is high-risk, high-reward, often heartbreak and inconsistent. 

Will RCB Face A Season Of Balance Or Another Failure? 

This year, however, there is something different. With Virat Kohli in sublime form, a well-rounded bowling unit, and the calm leadership of Rajat Patidar, RCB appear more composed than in previous seasons. Fans dare to dream that the Mars-ruled number 9 may finally bring them glory instead of gloom and heartbreak. 

Numerology expert Sanjay B Jumaani recently hinted at this in an Instagram post, favouring 'blue' over 'red' in the title clash. If Mumbai Indians reach the final, believers in numerology and RCB fans may start to worry. Adding a layer of interest to this is Virat Kohli's jersey number is 18 and the IPL edition is 18th with again adds upto 9.
