IPL 2025: Two-time Olympic Gold medalist PV Sindhu reacts to RCB's first win at home

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have finally broken their losing streak at their home ground in IPL 2025 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). The Men in Red get their sixth win of the season after emerging victorious in a thrilling Royal derby by 11 runs.

This has been a fairly good season for the Bengaluru franchise so far, who are currently third on the table with 12 points on the board. Though at some point in the game, the Rajasthan franchise seemed to have been running away with the match, the exceptional death bowling from Josh Hazlewood made sure the team made a comeback. There were a few celebrities who came to the venue, which also included two-time Olympic medalist and Indian badminton star PV Sindhu, who, after the match, made a playful remark saying the franchise has finally found their lucky charm. The post also included her family as well as the Chinnaswamy.

“Brain says Orange Army, but the heart says new city, new team, Ee Saaalllaaaa Ccccuuppp Naammmaaddeee. PS: @royalchallengers.bengaluru, You found your lucky charm,” Sindhu posted on Instagram.

It is a special place and has a lot of special memories: Virat Kohli

RCB legend Virat Kohli also had a lot of great things to say about the victory at their home ground this season. Virat openly talked about the template the team had to put on a great total on the board and also talked about how crucial it was to claw their way back in the game. Kohli also mentioned how special the venue is to the team as well.

“Pretty happy, we discussed a few things as a batting unit and applied ourselves well enough to get a total on the board. The dew really helped in the second half, credit to RR, they came out and played good shots, but to claw our way back and get those 2 points was really crucial,” Kohli was quoted as saying. 

“The first challenge here (at this venue) is to win toss and second half it becomes a bit of a advantage, we have been fighting hard to get a good score in the first few games, but the template today was for one guy to bat through and the rest of the batters can go attacking and today it really paid off. It (this venue) is the best place to play cricket in the IPL, and the fans backed us during good and bad times. It is a special place and has a lot of special memories,” Kohli concluded.
