‘Holding the Cup With…’: Star RCB Player’s Manifestation Comes True After IPL 2025 Triumph Against Punjab Kings
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma spoke about a manifestation he placed ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Last night, it came true as RCB defeated the Punjab Kings (PBKS) to win their maiden IPL title after a long wait of 18 years.
Jitesh’s RCB Manifestation Comes True
The 31-year-old shared that he was asked by the RCB management to manifest a wish involving him and the franchise at the start of the season. The wicketkeeper-batter wanted to finish the final match in style by hitting a winning six and capture himself holding the elusive trophy alongside their former captain Virat Kohli and batting coach Dinesh Karthik.
“Holding the cup with Virat bhai in left and DK on side of me and I am hitting six in final when team needs six runs in two balls. Wish this come true this season 2025-26,” manifested the batter.
