RCB Fan Makes Shocking Promise Amid IPL Title Hopes
RCB Advances to IPL Final
A passionate female supporter of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has made a dramatic vow regarding the team's performance in the ongoing IPL season. RCB secured their place in the final after a decisive victory over Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1, held at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on May 29. Chasing a modest target of 102 runs, RCB completed the task in just 10 overs, with Phil Salt leading the charge by scoring 56 runs off 27 balls. Key contributions also came from Mayank Agarwal (19 runs) and Rajat Patidar (15 not out).
Before the batters clinched the win, the bowlers, particularly Josh Hazlewood (3 wickets for 21 runs) and Suyash Sharma (3 wickets for 17 runs), dismantled the Punjab Kings' batting lineup, limiting them to a mere 101 runs. The aggressive batting strategy of PBKS backfired, with Marcus Stoinis (26 runs) being the only player to surpass the 20-run mark.
Bold Promise from RCB Supporter
As RCB prepares for their fourth IPL final after a nine-year gap, a female fan has made a striking promise if the team fails to secure their first title in the lucrative T20 league. A viral image shows her holding a poster declaring that she would divorce her husband if RCB does not win the IPL trophy this year.
The poster reads, "Agar RCB final nahi jeeti toh, mein pati ko talak dungi," which translates to, "If RCB doesn't win the final, I will divorce my husband."
This image appears to be from RCB's final league match against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Cricket Stadium, where Jitesh Sharma dazzled the crowd with an unbeaten 85 runs off 33 balls, leading RCB to a six-wicket victory while chasing a target of 228 runs.
RCB's Quest for Their First Title
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is one of the original teams in the IPL, alongside Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, yet they have not claimed a title since the tournament's inception. Despite being a strong contender in the league's history, RCB has reached the finals three times—in 2009, 2011, and 2016—without securing the trophy.
This season, RCB has shown remarkable form, winning eight away matches, including their recent victory over Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1. With Rajat Patidar at the helm and Virat Kohli in exceptional batting form, along with a formidable bowling attack led by Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma, RCB seems poised to finally end their title drought.
Fans are optimistic that 2025 could be the year RCB lifts their first IPL trophy, putting an end to an 18-year wait. They will face the winner of the Eliminator and Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3.
