Red Is the New Black: RCB Claims 2025 IPL Title With Fans Celebrating Long and Loud
"SBI mockingly prompts Vijay Mallya to return to India, amid his celebratory post about RCB"
Get ready to cheer as the Indian Premier League takes a dramatic turn! The much-anticipated finale for IPL 2025 took place on June 3, as Rajat Patidar-led RCB clinched the championship by beating Shreyas Iyer's Punjab Kings.
The excitement was palpable as the trailer for the upcoming IPL 2025 film premiered on May 29, following RCB's triumph against PBKS. Social media and Bengaluru streets erupted in a sea of red, as fans expressed their joy and happiness at the franchise's victory.
Fugitive entrepreneur Vijay Mallya, who founded RCB back in 2008, couldn't contain his excitement. He took to his Twitter account (now defunct) to share his feelings, posting, "RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years. Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament."
Mallya went on to commend the "well-balanced" team for playing bold and thanked the coach and support staff for their hard work. "Many congratulations! Ee sala cup namde!" he wrote, celebrating in the local language.
But Mallya's messages of joy were quickly met with criticisms, as users reminded him of his loan scams and issued demands for him to "fulfill SBI's dream." The irony in the situation was not lost on some, who called for Mallya to return to India and settle his accounts with the banking industry.
Mallya reflected on his long journey with RCB, recalling the historical moment when he signed Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle. Both De Villiers and Gayle were present for the monumental victory, adding to the emotional significance of the win.
Closing his emotional post, Mallya thanked the team, RCB fans, and the city of Bengaluru for making his dream come true. "Ee Sala Cup Bengaluru baruthe!" he exclaimed, longing for the trophy to grace the city.
Fans rallied in the comments section of his post, asking him to join them in Bengaluru for a celebration and expressing hope for Mallya to "make SBI's dream come true." However, a parody account linked to SBI took things in a unique direction, commenting, "Sir, come to India. We will celebrate together."
While predicting an "impressive" win for Punjab Kings over Mumbai Indians in the lead-up to the final, Mallya admitted that a "first-time champion will emerge" this year. And that prophecy certainly came true, as RCB rose from years of heartbreak to claim their much-deserved IPL trophy.
As the dust settles and the confetti falls, one thing is clear: This IPL season was a wild ride, and there's no doubt that fans will be talking about it for years to come!
