RCB on the Brink of IPL Glory: What If They Win?

RCB Approaches Historic IPL Title

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are just one victory away from securing their inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) championship. Following a remarkable display against the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1, the team has advanced to the final, igniting excitement among their dedicated fanbase.


While fans are filled with optimism, former England cricketers Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton humorously speculated on the potential consequences if RCB's coach Dinesh Karthik leads the team to this long-awaited title. They suggested that Karthik could become "unbearable" if he helps RCB clinch their first championship in 17 years.


Karthik, known for his insightful commentary, transitioned into a mentorship role with RCB for the 2025 IPL season. He stands on the verge of achieving something unprecedented for the franchise by guiding them to a trophy.


In addition to his off-field duties, Karthik has taken on a leadership role, frequently offering tactical guidance from the sidelines. His influence is felt not only in the locker room but also on the field, where he actively communicates strategies during matches.


Should RCB triumph in the final, it would mark a significant milestone for both the team and Karthik in his inaugural season as a mentor, potentially reshaping his legacy within the IPL.


Hussain humorously remarked during a Sky Sports Podcast, "RCB have made it to the finals. If they win, DK is going to be unbearable. One season as coach/mentor and he’s won it."


Atherton added, "He’s unbearable at the best of times; he’ll be doubly unbearable. He’ll be like John Terry, proudly holding the RCB trophy alongside Virat Kohli during the presentation."
