A memorable IPL season

Royal Challengers Bengaluru celebrate winning the 2026 Indian Premier League final against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad last Sunday. AFP

I write in reference to the article Virat Kohli’s record fifty seals IPL 2026 title for Bengaluru (May 31): Royal Challengers Bengaluru showed exceptional skill, determination and teamwork throughout the season. Under Rajat Patidar’s inspiring captaincy, “RCB” – as they are commonly known – delivered another memorable championship-winning performance. Every player contributed significantly to the team’s success, with Kohli’s knock in the final adding further brilliance to the victory. My home city of Bengaluru, often called India’s “Silicon Valley”, is in the news these days for being home to RCB. The jubilant celebrations by Bengalureans following the team’s second straight title win transformed the city into a vibrant sea of red and gold. Kudos to Patidar and his team for bringing immense pride and joy to RCB fans in Bengaluru and around the world. – K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India
