IPL 2025, Final, RCB vs PBKS: Captains’ Corner
It is really special for me, for Virat Kohli, and all the fans. Those who have supported for years, they all deserve it. After the Qualifier, we thought that we can go through. I think 190 was a good score on this track as it was a bit slow. Bowlers executing their plans was tremendous to watch. Krunal is a wicket-taking bowler, I look for him whenever we need wickets. Suyash and the pacers were good all season. Shepherd gave the key wicket tonight. It’s a great opportunity for me and a great learning for me to captain Kohli, he deserves it more than anyone else. I just want to say one line to all the fans – Ee sala cup namdu
Rajat Patidar(RCB Captain) said post-match
Dejected, but the way our came up to the occasion… a lot of credit goes to the management and each and every player. Considering the last game we played here, I felt 200 was par personally. They bowled excellently. Krunal was phenomenal, used his experience, that was the turning point. Proud of each individual in our team, a lot of youngsters played their first season. Their fearlessness was phenomenal. Job is still half done, we have to win it next year. The way we turned up to every game was a positive, they’ve gained a lot of experience and we can build on that next year.
