In the IPL, form, ability, and strategy are what fans usually discuss. However, there are also those who believe in something else and that is numerology. And for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), it's not only their game but also jersey colour and numbers that are under scrutiny this season. RCB plays in the red jersey. But here's the oddity. No team that plays in red as its primary colour has ever won the IPL championship. RCB have made it to the final three times but never got to hold the trophy. Punjab Kings, who play in red, have never won either. Now, fans are thinking about this "colour curse" again as RCB make it close to the final in IPL 2025.

The last will be held on June 3, which totals to 9 as well. According to numerology, 9 is governed by the planet Mars, which represents ambition, aggression, bold strokes, and sudden surprises, all of which are synonymous with RCB's typical style of play. But this time around, things seem different. RCB look more well-balanced. Virat Kohli is also in form, the bowling side is also doing well, and Rajat Patidar's steady captaincy is keeping the side calm. Fans now wish that the number 9 would bring them good fortune this time instead of disappointment.

Numerology expert Sanjay B Jumaani shared on Instagram that blue teams might have better luck than red ones in the final. So, if Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians, who wear blue, reaches the finals of IPL 2025 after defeating PBKS in Qualifier 2, it will add on to the worries of RCB and their fans. But here’s another twist, Virat Kohli’s jersey number is 18, and this is the 18th season of IPL. That also adds up to 9. So will number 9 be victory or another heartbreak for RCB? Only time will tell.
