Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won their first title in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 6 runs in the final on Tuesday. After the match, the RCB captain called ‘E Sala Cup Namdu’ in Kannada language for fans, that is, this year the cup became ours. At the same time, Virat Kohli said, Heart, soul is with Bangalore, now I will be able to sleep peacefully.
In the story, know what the players said after the match …
E Sala Cup Namadu- Silver Patidar
After winning the trophy, RCB captain Rajat Patidar said, this moment is very special for me, Virat and all fans. All those who have been supporting for so many years are entitled to this victory. After the qualifier, we were convinced that we could win the trophy. The 190 score on this pitch was good, as the pitch was a bit slow.
It was fantastic to see the plan made by the bowlers. Krunal is the bowler to take a wicket, whenever there is a wicket, I look at him. Suyash and our pacers were good for the whole season. Shepherd took an important wicket today. It was a big chance and learning experience for me to captain, and Virat Bhai does it (trophy) more. I just want to say one thing to all the fans, ‘E Sala Cup Namdu’ (this year cup is ours).

Virat Kohli’s interview after victory
- I gave my youth to this team: This victory is for our team, it is as much for our fans. It has been 18 years. I gave my youth, my best time and experience to this team. Tried to win every year, thrown everything. Now this trophy was found, this feeling is beyond the words. I did not think that this day would come. After the last ball I was swept away in emotions. I put all my strength and what I feel today is amazing.
- AB worked unmatched: The work done by AB de Villiers for this franchise is unmatched. I also told him, ‘This victory is as us, the more you are. Come and celebrate with us. ‘ Even after 4 years of retiring, he is the player to become the most ‘player of the match’ for the team, which shows how much they have affected this team, this league and my life. They are entitled to be on stage with this trophy.
Virat Kohli embraced AB de Villiers after winning the final.
- The team always supported: If asked how big a moment this is my career, then it is at the top. As I said, I gave 18 years to this team, always associated with it, never left. Many times felt that I should think something else, but I did not leave this team and it also supported me. Always dreamed to win with this team, so this victory is more special than winning with another team.

- With heart, soul Bangalore: My heart and soul are with Bangalore and play as long as I play IPL, only for this team. IPL is a very high level, high intensity tournament. I always wanted to win a big trophy and this was an incomplete trophy. Tonight I will be able to sleep peacefully.
- The end of career is to come one day: I will not get a chance to play this game for long. The end of the career is to come one day, when I retire, I would just like to tell myself that I gave everything. I always try to improve. I can’t play only by becoming an impact player, I have to do the entire 20 over fielding, do something special for the team.

- Questions arose on the team after the auction: God has given me talent and attitude. Our team, management and players were fantastic this season. Many questions were raised after the auction, but we were happy from day one. We trusted our team and I want to salute the whole team. This victory is not just mine, but every player, family and support staff. The management always kept us positive, especially when it was difficult time. This victory is from the whole of Bangalore.
- Nothing greater than Test cricket: This moment is one of the most memorable moments of my career, but still five places below Test cricket. I consider Test cricket very much and love him. I would like to tell all the youth to respect Test cricket. If you do well in Test cricket, then people in any corner of the world put eyes in your eyes and say that you played the game correctly. If you want real respect in the cricket world, then adopt Test cricket from the heart. This is the way to stand with the real legends of cricket.
Krunal’s bowling turning point- Shreyas Iyer
After losing the final, Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer said, “I am a little disappointed, but the way our team stood on the spot, the management and every player is credited.” Seeing the previous match which we played here, I felt that the score of 200 runs would be fine, but he bowled well.
Krunal showed a great experience, he was the turning point of the match. I feel proud of every player in my team, many youth played their first season and their fearless game was fantastic. The work is still incomplete, we have to win the trophy next year. The excitement of the team in every match was a big deal. Everyone has got a good experience from this season and we can do better next year.

I understand the situation and play: Krunal Pandya
Player of the final Krunal Pandya said, “When we batted, we felt that the slower we put, the more beneficial it is.” This format needs courage to do so. I trusted myself, thought that I would change my speed and keep most of the balls slow.
My biggest strength has been that I understand the situation and play. I knew that I would have to show courage to take wickets today, and I can do it with slow bowling. If we had put sharp, this pitch would have been good for the batsmen, but mixing it makes it difficult for them. In the second innings, the pitch became a little easier.
The journey so far with RCB has been very good. On the very first day I said that the trophy has to win. I also told Hardik that the Pandya family will now have 9 trophy in 11 years.
