IPL 2025 early impression: Ee Sala Cup Namde? RCB's bold start fuels big dreams

India Today  

How many of you had Royal Challengers Bengaluru in your top four before IPL 2025? The scars of that unforgettable 2008 opener-when Brendon McCullum made a mockery of an RCB side-may never fully fade, but Bengaluru fans can take solace in their team's near-perfect start to the 18th edition of the IPL. But if RCB's opening night is anything to go by, their fans can dare to dream-perhaps even of a long-awaited title run. Winning the toss and opting to field was the right call, but RCB's control slipped in the first 10 overs despite an early breakthrough. Josh Hazlewood's presence provides RCB with a significant boost, and the Australian, returning from a long injury layoff, showed why he remains one of the most dependable T20 bowlers.
