WATCH: KL Rahul's special message for Bengaluru FC ahead of ISL final against Sanjiv Goenka-owned Mohun Bagan SG

As Indian football fans look forward to an exciting finale to the 2024-25 Indian Super League season, star India batter and Delhi Capitals player KL Rahul has sent a heartfelt message to the JSW Sports-owned, Bengaluru FC ahead of their clash against Mohun Bagan Super Giant which is owned by Sanjiv Goenka in the ISL 2025 final on Saturday, April 12.

Rahul, who is a Karnataka player and now plays for an IPL team that owns the Bengaluru franchise in the ISL, didn't hold back in wishing the side for the summit clash. The 32-year-old was also presented with a special BFC jersey with his name printed on it.

"Hey, everyone, this is KL Rahul. Wishing BFC all the very best for the final of the ISL this Saturday. I'm excited, I'm going to watch it, and I will be rooting for all of you guys. Sending Sunil and the rest of the team all the luck. Go out there and enjoy yourselves, and do what you've been doing the entire season, playing like champions. Enjoy the final and bring it home for us, Bengaluru. Come on, BFC," he said in a video posted by Bengalurufc on X.

Interestingly, Rahul has also been present at Mohun Bagan SG matches in the past during his stint with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the IPL team owned by Goenka. Most recently, even Rishabh Pant, Rahul’s replacement as LSG captain, was spotted cheering for Mohun Bagan during their semi-final win over Jamshedpur FC in Kolkata, with Goenka and other LSG staff also in attendance.

Rahul’s message came after his batting heroics against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, April 8. The right-hand batter played a match-winning 93* off 53 balls to seal the game for his side. He also performed a celebration inspired by the movie Kantara after hitting the winning six.
