‘A trophy Virat Kohli definitely wants in his cabinet’ – Robin Uthappa on RCB finishing in top two of IPL 2025

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have finished among the top two teams ahead of the IPL 2025 (Indian Premier League) playoffs, which will give them an added advantage in the last four games of the tournament. Former RCB player Robin Uthappa has also openly praised the team for their performance this season.

The 39-year-old commentator, while praising the side, mentioned how important the tournament is for Virat Kohli, who has got another chance to get his hands on the trophy, which has eluded him for the last 17 years. Uthappa also went on to mention the stars of the last game against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which include Nuwan Thushara for his impressive spell, Mayank Agarwal for his crucial cameo, and Jitesh Sharma for his match-winning 85 off 33 deliveries.

“From this victory, one person who’ll still be up is Virat Kohli. He gets that chance again to go into the back end of the tournament and try to win that IPL championship for RCB, a trophy he definitely wants in his cabinet. These lads, Jitesh Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, and Nuwan Thushara, all delivered today. Everyone bowled and batted so well. They deserve to be in the top two. The belief they showed, the conviction they had, was incredible,” Uthappa said exclusively on JioHotstar.

RCB vs PBKS: Who will be the first team in the IPL 2025 final?

The first qualifier will be between RCB and the Punjab Kings (PBKS), scheduled for 29 May. This will be another great battle to look forward to. The match will be held at the new PCA Stadium in Chandigarh, and the winner of the game will go directly into the final, while the loser will play a do-or-die match in Qualifier 2.

This will be an interesting match-up, as both sides are in search of their maiden IPL title and will be giving it their all in this upcoming clash. It will be fascinating to see which one of these underdog teams becomes the first franchise to reach the final of the tournament.
