Rishi Sunak supports RCB in IPL 2025 final at Narendra Modi Stadium against PBKS.

"Let's go @RCBTweets. - Rishi Sunak on X"

Ahmedabad, June 3

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is present at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with his wife, Akshata Murty, to cheer for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Punjab Kings on Tuesday.

After an enduring season, Bengaluru and Punjab stand just a solitary win away from lifting their maiden IPL title. Sunak, who has been an avid supporter of RCB, is present in the stands and cheering for his favourite.

Sunak took to X and posted a selfie with his wife and captioned the post, "Let's go @RCBTweets."

Bengaluru, who finished second in the group stage, blazed its way into the final with an imposing eight-wicket triumph in a lopsided Qualifier 1 against the table-toppers PBKS. Punjab then trounced Mumbai Indians to enter just its second IPL final.

Interesting to see foreign leaders take interest in IPL. But honestly, I wish our own politicians would show this much enthusiasm for sports infrastructure development in India.

As a die-hard PBKS fan, I'm nervous but excited! Sunak ji might be supporting RCB, but our team has the real Punjabi spirit 💪 Let's see if RCB's 'chokers' tag continues or PBKS creates history!

Sunak supporting RCB makes perfect sense - both have Indian roots but operate internationally! Jokes aside, what a great moment for cricket diplomacy. Hope this builds stronger UK-India ties beyond just cricket.

Nice to see Sunak enjoying our desi cricket tamasha! But can we talk about how packed Modi Stadium looks? IPL's popularity keeps growing every year - truly India's biggest sporting event now.
