You Could Feel Years Of Emotion Release In That Moment, Says Agarwal On IPL 2025 Win
Opener Mayank Agarwal: Opener Mayank Agarwal opened up on the emotional arc of his IPL journey, saying that being a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s maiden IPL title win made him release the emotions of all those years of being within and outside the franchise.
Agarwal won IPL 2025 with RCB, after being signed as a late replacement for the injured left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal. His notable contribution was hitting an unbeaten 23-ball 41 as RCB chased down 228 to beat Lucknow Super Giants and clinch a top two finish in the points table.
"My first year at RCB was 2011; we lost the final in Chennai. Winning now wasn’t just joy, it was closure to 2011. To go from not being part of the IPL to being part of the team that won it for the first time in 18 years, that’s history, and it’s hard to put into words. It was massive not just for the franchise but for the fans, players, and everyone connected to RCB. You could feel years of emotion release in that moment," said Agarwal on RCB Podcast.
