Royal Challengers Bengaluru have made a dream start to their Indian Premier League 2025 campaign, winning both of their opening matches in the cash-rich tournament. They kicked off with a seven-wicket victory over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders, followed by a commanding 50-run win against Chennai Super Kings<\/a>. With two consecutive wins, RCB currently sit atop the points table.
Despite their strong start and top position in the standings, former India opener Virender Sehwag<\/a> openly mocked RCB, referring to them as ‘gareeb (poor).’<\/p>\n

Sehwag remarked that teams like RCB, which have never won an IPL title, should also get a chance to enjoy such high positions on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cGareebon ko bhi toh rehne de, photo le le thodi der. Pata nahi kitnin der gareeb log upar rahenge. (Let the poor be on top of the IPL points, let them click photos. Who knows for how long they will be at the top),\u201d Sehwag said during a chat on Cricbuzz.
\u201cWhat do you think, I was talking about money? No. They are all wealthy in terms of money. Franchises earn 400-500 crore every season. I’m not talking about that. The ones who haven’t won a single trophy, I’m calling them gareeb,\u201d he added.
Apart from RCB, teams like Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants have also yet to win an IPL title.
RCB\u2019s next challenge will be against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
