In his message, he said, "After so many years, RCB has reached the finals again. Everyone has high hopes. I wish the team performs exceptionally well. May they win the title through collective effort and the dedication of every player. I especially wish captain Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, and all team members the very best for this historic match."

Kumaraswamy’s support comes at a time when cricket fever has gripped the nation, with RCB fans hoping this is finally their moment. The symbolic nature of IPL Season 18, matching Virat Kohli’s jersey number, has only intensified the emotional buildup.

With all tickets sold out, the final has drawn massive interest. Some tickets are reportedly being sold in the black market at sky-high prices. The Narendra Modi Stadium, the largest cricket venue in the world, will witness a crowd of over 1,30,000, all eager to see who will lift the IPL 2025 trophy.

Tonight’s game is more than a final,  it’s a battle of legacy, dreams, and redemption. And with political leaders like Kumaraswamy joining in support, RCB’s bid for glory has truly become a matter of pride for Karnataka and beyond.
