IPL 2025: Everybody's Chipped In For RCB, When They Were Down And Out, Says Varun Aaron
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India fast-bowler Varun Aaron believes different players stepping up for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have played a big role in the franchise entering the IPL 2025 final through a dominating eight-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Thursday’s Qualifier 1 game in New Chandigarh.
In that match, leg-spinner Suyash Sharma, later adjudged Player of the Match, and pacer Josh Hazlewood took three wickets each to help RCB bowl out PBKS for just 101 in 14.1 overs. The target was chased down in exactly 10 overs by RCB, thanks to Phil Salt hitting an unbeaten 56.
"At the end of the day, you've got to attribute it to eight players being man of the match throughout the season. Because RCB have always been dominated by a few players, a few big batters, I would say, did the bulk of the lifting. But there was always talks about, after Virat Kohli, who's the highest (Indian) run-scorer? Till last year, it was Rahul Dravid. This year, that has changed."
