RCB fans devastated as IPL 2025 faces sudden suspension, says ‘god has other plans’

New Delhi: The Indian Premier League’s 2025 season was suspended indefinitely by the BCCI due to escalating India-Pakistan tensions. At the time of the suspension, Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Rajat Patidar and featuring Virat Kohli, was performing exceptionally well.

“IPL suspended indefinitely due to India-Pakistan military conflict,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying by PTI.

Although aware of the stakes, devoted Royal Challengers Bangalore supporters, after an 18-year wait, were disappointed by their team’s IPL final loss.

Some fans attributed Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) lack of success to misfortune, suggesting that they would have been victorious in 2021 if the IPL hadn’t been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
