Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2025 Finals, where they will be facing Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday, June 3. As the side made it way into the summit clash, RCB's director of cricket, Mo Bobat opened up on how the team made its way into the Playoffs, and then eventually, the grand finale.
Bobat claimed that there was indeed pressure for the management from the fans to win a title for the franchise, which has eluded them for a long time. Bobat claimed none had to remind them about not having won a title. The 41-year-old claimed that the real aim and aspiration of the management was to inspire the fans by winning matches and eventually the titles. He felt RCB's turnaround in 2024 inspired the fans to support them even more this time round.
"You don't have to spend too long in Bengaluru for someone to remind you that you've got a trophy to win. For me, the real aim and aspiration is to inspire our fans. We're blessed with incredibly loyal fans, and I think our number one task is to inspire them," said Mo Bobat via RCB: Journey to the Finals.
DK really adds value as a coach: Bobat
"How we do that is obviously winning games of cricket, but it's the way we play and the things that we achieve along the way. Even last season, I'm pretty sure that the way we turned our season around was an inspiration to people," Bobat added in the first Episode of 'RCB's Journey to the Finale'.
He then spoke about getting Dinesh Karthik onboard as the mentor and claimed the management was keen on adding him into the coaching staff after knowing his decision to retire. Bobat added that even before Karthik contemplated on retiring, he was of the opinion that the former RCB batter could bring great value as a coach.
"In DK's case, we were really keen to add him the moment that I was aware that he was contemplating retiring. And in fact, even before then, I thought he was somebody who would really add value as a coach," he said further.
