Finally! After so many years of heartbreaks, RCB is in the finals again! 😍 Virat's sister's reaction says it all. This team has shown such amazing spirit in the second half of the tournament. Suyash Sharma was absolutely brilliant today!

Phil Salt's innings was pure fire! 🔥 56* off just 27 balls - that's how you chase a target. But let's not forget our bowlers who set up the match. Hazlewood and Suyash were outstanding. Now just one more win for that elusive trophy!

I'm happy but also nervous. RCB has reached finals before but couldn't cross the final hurdle. Hope this time is different. The team looks balanced with both Indian and overseas players contributing equally.

That evil eye emoji from Virat's sister is so relatable! 😂 We Indians are always worried about nazar. But seriously, what a performance! The way they restricted PBKS under 100 was clinical. Bowling wins matches, and today proved it.

While I'm happy for RCB, I feel PBKS made some poor team selections today. They should have played an extra batsman considering the pitch conditions. But credit to RCB for capitalizing on every opportunity. Patidar's captaincy has been impressive this season.

As a die-hard RCB fan since 2008, this feels surreal! The entire city of Bengaluru must be celebrating tonight. Special mention to Yash Dayal - from being hit for those sixes last season to becoming a match winner this year. What a turnaround!
