New Delhi: Former India opener Virender Sehwag brutally trolled Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) amid their fantastic run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. RCB have started the season well and are currently sitting at the top spot on the IPL 2025 points table with 4 points after two wins in two matches.
Delhi Capitals (DC) have also made a strong start to the season and are currently in the second spot on the points table with 4 points after recording back-to-back victories in their first two matches. It has been an interesting start to IPL 2025 as RCB and DC who are among the perennial underperformers, hold the top two spots.
Meanwhile, the likes of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI) and defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have all made a shaky start with just a solitary victory in their first three matches of the season. Speaking about RCB’s strong start in IPL 2025, Sehwag took a hilarious dig at the franchise, calling them ‘gareeb’ (poor).
Sehwag called RCB poor, referring to the fact that they are yet to win their maiden IPL title despite having been part of the tournament since the inaugural edition in 2008. The former India opener said teams like RCB should also get a chance to be on the top of the table as they have never tasted success in the tournament.
“Gareebon ko bhi toh rehne de, photo le le thodi der. Pata nahi kitnin der gareeb log upar rahenge. (Let the poor be on top of the IPL points table, let them click photos. Who knows for how long they will be at the top),” Sehwag said during a chat on Cricbuzz.
“What do you think, I was talking about money? No. They are all wealthy in terms of money. Franchises earn 400-500 crore every season. I’m not talking about that. The ones who haven’t won a single trophy, I’m calling them gareeb,” he added.
RCB beat KKR and CSK to get off to a flying start in IPL 2025
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are off to a flying start in IPL 2025 with victories against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in their first two matches. RCB kicked off their campaign with a commanding 7-wicket win against KKR at the Eden Gardens in their opening game of the season before beating CSK by 50 runs to make it two wins in a row and secure the top spot on the points table.
