After years of endless heartbreaks, Royal Challengers Bangalore fans finally have their moment of glory. The 2025 IPL season has ended on a historic note, with RCB lifting their maiden IPL trophy after 17 long years of waiting.

From Virat Kohli’s tears of joy to the fans dancing in the streets, this victory feels almost surreal.

Amid all the celebration, a surprising message came from none other than, Vijay Mallya, the former owner of RCB. Once a renowned businessman who played a crucial role in building the team from the ground up, Mallya is now known more for his controversial escape from India after defaulting on massive loans.

“RCB are IPL Champions finally after 18 years. Superb campaign right through the 2025 tournament. A well balanced team Playing Bold with outstanding coaching and support staff. Many congratulations! Ee sala cup namde.”

He also made another tweet talking about Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, and Ab DeVilliers. He mentioned how his dream has finally come true. The tweet read:

“When I founded RCB it was my dream that the IPL trophy should come to Bengaluru. I had the privilege of picking the legendary King Kohli as a youngster and it is remarkable that he has stayed with RCB for 18 years. I also had the honour of picking Chris Gayle the Universe Boss and Mr 360 AB DeVillers who remain an indelible part of RCB history. Finally, the IPL trophy arrives in Bengaluru. Congratulations and thanks again to all who made my dream come true. RCB fans are the very best and they deserve the IPL trophy. Ee Sala Cup Bengaluru baruthe !”
