MS Dhoni Finally Reacts to RCB’s IPL 2025 Title

Former CSK captain MS Dhoni has finally shared his reaction to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s maiden IPL title victory in 2025, and it has left fans entertained with his characteristic humor. Speaking at an IndiGo fan interaction event, Dhoni graciously congratulated RCB on breaking their 18-year championship drought while admitting that as a competitor, he could never truly imagine another team winning the league.

Dhoni’s Competitive Spirit Shines Through

Dhoni acknowledged the magnitude of RCB’s achievement and praised the quality of cricket they displayed throughout their campaign. However, he emphasized the importance of analyzing what went wrong for his own team, CSK, and learning from competitors. “When you are a participant in the competition, you want your team to win. It doesn’t always work in your favor but what went wrong and what can we learn from the other teams. That is also crucial in a tournament like this,” the 42-year-old explained, showing his analytical approach to cricket.

Special Praise for RCB’s Loyal Fanbase

Dhoni reserved special appreciation for RCB’s supporters, widely considered among the most passionate in the IPL. “RCB fans have been brilliant. Every time there is a game, they come and support their team, even when the chips are down,” he said—a comment that resonated deeply across social media.

RCB clinched the title on June 3, 2025, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Under Rajat Patidar’s captaincy, they achieved historic victories against CSK at Chepauk and Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, ultimately delivering the elusive trophy their devoted fanbase had waited for nearly two decades.
