Chennai Bulls Dominate Delhi Redz to Win Inaugural Rugby Premier League Title
History was made in Indian sports as the Chennai Bulls crushed Delhi Redz with a staggering 41–0 win to become the first-ever champions of the Rugby Premier League (RPL). The final match, held on June 29, 2025, wrapped up the two-week-long tournament that began on June 15, showcasing India's growing enthusiasm for contact sports like rugby.
Held under the banner of Rugby India and supported by national sporting bodies, the RPL 2025 was the country’s first professional domestic league dedicated to rugby union. Chennai Bulls’ powerful display in the final, including multiple successful tries and airtight defense, left Delhi Redz struggling for possession and territory. Fans across the country began trending #ChennaiBullsChampion and #RugbyIndiaRising, celebrating a milestone moment for the sport.
According to World Rugby, the inaugural season of RPL marks a “significant step” in India’s rugby ecosystem. The Chennai Bulls were unbeaten throughout the league, proving themselves worthy champions with dominant performances against top-tier teams from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and of course, Delhi.
“This is a proud moment not just for Chennai Bulls but for rugby in India,” said head coach Arvind Rajan, in a post-match conversation with The Hindu. “This win will inspire young athletes to consider rugby as a serious sport.”
While cricket and football remain the dominant sports in the country, the Rugby Premier League has found a loyal fanbase. With high-octane action, professional setups, and star-making performances, many believe this could be rugby’s breakout era in India. Hashtags like #RugbyPremierLeague, #ChennaiVsDelhi, and #NewEraOfIndianRugby are gaining traction across sports communities online.
