RCB will clash with the Punjab Kings in the final of the IPL 2025 at Narendra Modi Stadium. Ahmedabad. It is a golden opportunity for RCB to lift the maiden title, but before the finale, bad news is circulating on social media platforms as the RCB’s start opener, Phil Salt, won’t be available for the tournament finals. Phil Salt wasn’t seen in the practice session of the RCB last Saturday, and the batter is expecting a baby back home, which might be the reason for his absence from the practice session. According to ESPNcricinfo, the English player isn’t even in Ahmedabad and will fly back home to support his partner.
“Salt was not at the ground when RCB trained on the eve of the final, but that isn’t unusual. Quite a few players choose to prepare by themselves instead of having one more net. If Salt is not in Ahmedabad and has dashed home to be with his family, RCB won’t let it be known until match day. Not with a player so important.”
ESPNcricinfo statement
Phil Salt at a strike rate of 175.90 scored 387 runs including 4 fifties in the 12 matches he played for RCB. The right-handed batter is key opening player for the franchise as the duo of him and Virat Kohli gave the start required to the team in multiple matches of this season and that is what helped RCB win crucial matches. In fact, Phil Salt scored a fifty in the Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2025 against Punjab Kings to help his team get into the final.
What Options Does RCB Have If Phil Salt Misses The Final?
If Phil Salt misses the tournament showdown, RCB will have players like Mayank Agarwal who can open up and play aggressively like Salt. RCB has not officially confirmed the English batter yet.
