Ambati Rayudu Mocks RCB on Live TV as Sanjay Bangar Left Shocked!

During the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final, Ambati Rayudu took a cheeky dig at RCB's IPL trophy drought, predicting they would only reach Qualifier 2. Former RCB coach Sanjay Bangar called it "below the belt". Rayudu, a CSK fan, remained unfazed. IPL 2025 starts on March 22, with RCB facing KKR and CSK taking on MI.

During the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final, former cricketers Ambati Rayudu and Sanjay Bangar engaged in a lighthearted discussion about Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and their IPL struggles. As the focus shifted to IPL 2025, set to begin on March 22, RCB’s inability to win the trophy became a talking point once again.

During the Hindi commentary, Bangar praised RCB’s resilience, highlighting their four playoff appearances in the last five years and their remarkable comeback last season. However, Rayudu took a cheeky dig, predicting that RCB would reach Qualifier 2 but still fail to win the title. Bangar playfully responded, saying the joke was “below the belt” and that RCB fans were watching. Unfazed, Rayudu dismissed concerns, reinforcing his support for Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

The IPL 2025 opener on March 22 will see RCB face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, while CSK will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 23 in Chennai. With RCB under new captain Rajat Patidar and KKR led by Ajinkya Rahane, the season promises intense competition. Despite Rayudu’s jokes, RCB fans remain hopeful that their long wait for a title might finally end.
