IPL, Mars, and the Red Jersey Curse: A Deep Dive

In the thrilling world of the IPL, superstition and symbolism often play a big role. One strange pattern is clear. No team wearing red has ever won the IPL trophy. In numerology and astrology, red is linked to Mars.

The Struggle of Teams in Red

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have reached the finals three times but never won. Punjab Kings, another team in red, have also never won the IPL.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won in 2016, but their jersey was mostly yellowish-orange, not red.

The Year 2016: A Mars-Ruled Cycle

The year 2016 added up to 9 in numerology, a number ruled by Mars. Interestingly, Sunrisers Hyderabad beat RCB, a team with more red in their jersey.

2025: Another Mars-Ruled Year

The year 2025 also adds up to 9 (2+0+2+5). This means another Mars-ruled cycle. June 3, the day of the final, also totals 9, again pointing to Mars.

In numerology, Mars stands for energy, ambition, bold decisions, and explosive performances. These traits match RCB’s high-risk, high-reward gameplay. This could be a turning point for them.

The Double-Edged Sword of Mars

But Mars is a double-edged sword. It gives power to bold warriors but also brings unpredictability and sudden changes. RCB’s history shows brilliance often undone by collapse, just like Mars’ volatile energy.

IPL 2025: A Sense of Déjà Vu

IPL 2025 brings a strange sense of déjà vu. With Virat Kohli in great form, a strong bowling unit, and Rajat Patidar’s leadership, RCB seems more balanced than before.

Mars, known for high ambition and sudden changes, makes hope uncertain. Mars may boost RCB’s campaign but can also cause its downfall. The number 9’s link to extremes warns of dramatic highs and crushing lows.

Number 9 and Its Influence

This year is all about the number 9. It’s the 18th IPL tournament, and a certain jersey number 18 is eager to lift the trophy. Virat Kohli’s zodiac sign is Scorpio, ruled by the number 9.

Numerology and Mars

Mars, linked with number 9 in numerology, brings strong energy, risk, and sudden changes. People with 9 in their charts may act quickly without thinking, leading to ups and downs.

Number 9 people may face fights, shocks, or losses, especially in a year like 2025. Overconfidence is common with number 9, often causing a fast fall after success.

The Color Blue: A Numerologist’s Advice

Numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani advises against overusing red. He cites the example of Kingfisher Airlines’ downfall and mentions SpiceJet and Air India making losses. He supports blue, and there’s still a team in blue left in IPL 2025. If Mumbai Indians enter the final, RCB fans who believe in numerology may worry.
