Started the season with belief. Ended with back to back titles. 🏆
This team lived every emotion together. The highs, the pressure, the hurdles, and the unwavering support. It feels extra special because… this place is HOME! ❤️ @RCBTweets

Sad no Rajat Patidar in the indian squad. What else he needs to do ? Scored 501 runs strike rate almost 200 . Unfair 💔 @rrjjt_01 Easily the best middle order in India . Proper striker with good technique

Wake up babe, Mo Bobat has dropped the line of the season. 😉 🫳🎤

The reactions from the players tell us how much they want it. Here’s more from Mo’s dressing room chat after RCB won back to back trophies two nights ago. 🏆❤️✌️

[Virat Kohli @imVkohli]

We asked ourselves a question last year- can we go back to back?

Here we are again 🏆🏆❤️❤️

At 36, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is doing something no fast bowler should manage after 15 years of bending his back. He is reinventing himself in real time, turning the final 5 overs into his territory while still owning the first 6 like no one in tournament history.

7 of his 11 wickets this season have come between 16-20 Overs, 12 overs bowled at exactly 8 an over. The death is where bowlers go to die & he walks out with wickets in his pocket.

The story begins with a plate of food. A couple of years ago, Bhuvneshwar woke up feeling like he had swallowed stones. Bloated, heavy, slow. He started stripping things away. Coffee first, then tea, then dairy, then gluten, then anything that had ever walked or flown. Then the DEXA scans arrived. More muscle, sharper agility, a body that once kept him out for months now carrying him through 5 games in 13 days.

RCB took a punt in late 2024 after 10 years at Sunrisers, paying over 10 crore for a bowler the international cricket had buried. His final season in orange had been painful, pace down, edges not carrying, obituaries written.
But RCB saw something beyond the speed gun. A man who understood pressure like a sailor understands tides, who could stand at his mark in 17th over & know exactly which ball would break the game.

Last season he did not just bowl, he taught. Yash Dayal from one end, Josh Hazlewood from the other & in between this quiet man from Meerut led the pack, where to stand, what to expect, which delivery to hold back. RCB won their first title in 18 years. Coincidence is a comfortable word for people who do not understand mentorship.

This season the mentor became executioner again. We know he is the leading wicket taker in IPL powerplay history, the swing merchant who makes the new ball talk. But now he completes the circle, owning all three acts of a T20 innings.
The knuckleball that stops in the pitch, the wide yorker that drags the hitter toward point, the in-swinger at 135 instead of 145.

Cricket chews up fast bowlers before 35. The back goes,knee goes, pace drops, world tells you to pack it in. Bhuvneshwar heard it all. He rewrote his menu, recalibrated his training & keep evolving.
At an age when most seamers are coaching or commentating, he is chasing the Purple Cap & proving that the body will listen if you learn its language. The gut feeling, quite literally, saved him.

[Chennai Super Kings @ChennaiIPL]

Some moments are bigger than the game.

Walking out to play, carrying a loss no words can hold, you show what heart truly means. Not just a cricketer today, but a son playing for his mother.

Every step, every ball, we stand with you.
The team, the fans, all of us, right beside you.

Strength, prayers, and yellove always, Mukesh. 💛

You remember the auction room of 2018. Some kid from Patiala, barely old enough to vote, zero first class games to his name, suddenly worth 4.8 crore. It looked like the kind of punt that destroys franchises.
7 years on, that same kid is hitting sixes like his life depends on it. Because it does.

From 2019 to 2022, Prabhsimran played just 6 IPL games. Punjab kept the chequebook open, kept him on roster, kept whispering about potential. But potential without release rots you. You spend nights in hotels carrying water bottles. You watch Gayle & Dhawan do your job. You start believing the auction price was a curse, not a blessing.

He ran to stay human. 7 kilometers, then 8. Every morning. The burning in his lungs was better than the silence of the bench.

Sachin Tendulkar told him something once; He said most boys would kill to sit where he sat. Told him to find contentment there. Sounds like advice for a monk, not a cricketer. But Prabhsimran clung to it.

Then 2023 happened. The Impact Player rule dropped. Purists screamed about death of cricket. For Prabhsimran, it was oxygen. He could swing from ball one without worrying about the collapse.

13th May 2023, Kotla. Delhi Capitals had them against the wall. He walked in & played the innings of his life. First 30 balls: 27 runs. Next 35: 76 runs. No other batter crossed even 20 runs for his team while he scored his 1st IPL century. Delhi missed the playoffs. Prabhsimran found himself.

But that is not why he bats like his life depends on it. You need to meet Sardar Surjit Singh, His father. Kidney failure. Three sessions a week hooked to machines. The house in Patiala is heavy with it. The only time the old man lights up is when his son opens for Punjab. They carry him to the couch before every game. Position the TV. For 3 hours, the sickness vanishes.

Think about that weight. Every boundary is not runs for him, It is medication. Every six is oxygen for an old man. When he says he plays for his father, he means it literally. The single joy in a week of hospital corridors & medical debt.

Come the 2025 auction, Punjab retained 2 players only. Shashank Singh & him. 4 crore for a keeper who had spent 4 years doing mostly nothing. He repaid them with 549 runs at 160 strike rate.

Shreyas Iyer gave him something simple; Freedom. Told him he was senior now. Told him one bad game would not end him. Freedom to fail.

Now he is flying. Strike rate pushing 173 this season. 80* against Mumbai off 39 balls. 51 off 25 against SRH. Each innings bigger than the last: 37, then 43, then 51, then 80*.
The boy who waited is now the man who delivers.

‼️ Reminder: NEVER hit the ball towards Phil Salt. 🥶🥶🥶
