Former RCB owner Vijay Mallya reacts to their win at Chepauk after 17 years against CSK in IPL 2025

RCB’s historic win at Chepauk against CSK after 17 years has taken social media by storm, with everyone talking about it. However, a post from former RCB owner Vijay Mallya has shocked the cricketing world. Mallya, accused of financial fraud and money laundering before fleeing India, has now reacted to their victory.

The ex-Kingfisher boss posted on X, celebrating his former team’s big win. He was pleased with the victory and noted that RCB finally broke Chennai’s fortress after 17 years. Mallya praised Bengaluru’s well-balanced batting and bowling performance and encouraged them to keep playing boldly.

The Bangalore team has had a strong start this season. First, they put on an excellent bowling display to comfortably defeat the reigning champions in Kolkata. Then, in their second match, they traveled to Chennai and took down the five-time champions with a stellar batting performance.

Their next challenge is against the 2022 champions, Gujarat Titans. To make Captain Rajat Patidar’s homecoming special, the team must maintain their form and confidence. If they continue playing as they did in the first two matches, they can finally dream of winning the trophy this year.
