Nailing rcb

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), said nailing the side’s actual shape, based on the vision the think-tank had envisaged during last year’s auction, has been the most rewarding aspect of the IPL 2025 season.

RCB finished at second place in the points table and made it to their fourth IPL final after beating Punjab Kings by eight wickets in Qualifier 1 in New Chandigarh. They will now face the winner of Qualifier 2 – between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians – in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on June 3.

"Nobody gets everything they want at an auction. It's pretty much impossible. But I think we got predominantly what we wanted in terms of playing personnel. But more importantly, with the actual shape of the team and the vision of that team that Andy and I spent so much time thinking about and talking about, we pretty much nailed that.”
