Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has managed to make it to the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 after 9 years. After this, former England captain Nasir Hussain has jokingly said that if RCB wins the IPL 2025 title, the team’s batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthi will be quite “unbearable”.
Dinesh Karthik retired from all the formats of cricket in 2024. A month later, he became RCB mentor and batting coach. Now the RCB has reached very close to the title. In such a situation, Nasir Hussain jokingly said that if Dinesh Karthik wins the trophy in his first season, he would become really ‘unbearable’.
Hussain tightens Dinesh Karthik
Hussain said on Sky Sports Podcast, “RCB has reached the final. If he won, it will be worth seeing DK (Dinesh Karthik). It is really amazing to win the trophy by becoming a coach/mentor in the same season.”
At the same time, on this podcast, former England player Michael Attart also added a funny manner to Hussain’s talk, “They are unbearable most of the time anyway. Now it will be double unbearable. He will be like John Terry, like John Terry, you will look forward in the trophy presentation like John Terry, with Virat Kohli.”
RCB reached IPL final for the fourth time
RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, made a brilliant performance and made it to the finals. In the qualifier 1 played against Punjab Kings on 29 May, RCB won by eight wickets and entered the final. This will be the fourth final of RCB. Earlier, the team has played finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians (Mi) has also confirmed a place in the playoffs. He won the eliminator match on May 30 by defeating Gujarat Titans by 20 runs. Now Mumbai Indians will clash with Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 on 1 June. Whatever team will win this match, it will play the final from RCB in Ahmedabad on June 3.
This season RCB has performed tremendously. This team has reached the qualifier 1 for the first time since 2016 and has also made a record of reaching the playoffs in 5 of the last 6 seasons.
Team waiting for first trophy
RCB may have played the finals three times, but the team had never dominated the tournament with so much strength and aggression. This time the bowling of the team looked quite aggressive and in the fielding too, the players showed excellent energy. They were leaving no stone unturned to stop the boundary and save the runs.
RCB has not won the title even by reaching the finals three times. But this time after 9 years, after reaching the finals, the team will get out with the intention of winning their first trophy with full strong.
