The IPL 2025 final is set to take place tonight between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, and this time all the attention is on a unique supporter – Canadian rap star Drake.
Yes, Drake has stunned RCB fans as he has placed a whopping $7.5 lakh (roughly Rs. 6.4 crores) bet on RCB winning their maiden IPL title.
Drake shared the news of his betting on Instagram and wrote RCB’s famous slogan *E Sala Cup Namde” in the caption to further excite the fans. He placed this bet on the crypto betting platform Stake, which has an odd of 1.75.
That is, if RCB wins, Drake can get a hefty amount of $ 1.3 million (more than Rs 11 crore).
Fans are now joking on social media that this bet of Drake will change the fate of RCB or his famous “Drake curse” will dominate again, about which it is said that whoever Drake bets on, often loses!
Virat’s brilliance, Patidar’s captaincy
RCB is in its fourth final this time, but the trophy has not yet been won by them. This season, Virat Kohli has won the hearts of the fans by scoring more than 600 runs.
Captain Rajat Patidar is also in great form and under his leadership, RCB is desperate to lift the cup for the first time.
Second On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings are no less. This is their second final after 2014, and they are also ready to give their all for the first trophy.
Why is there so much hype in IPL 2025 this year?
This year’s IPL final has become not just a cricket field, but also a big betting hub. It is estimated that more than $ 1 billion has been bet throughout the season.
This high-profile bet by Drake is adding more shine to this spectacle. On social media, RCB fans are in high spirits with the slogan “E Sala Cup Namde”, while PBKS fans are also not behind in cheering their team.
The mood of the fans on X is worth seeing. Someone is saying, “Drake bet on RCB, now the cup is ours!” While someone is joking, “Drake will curse, PBKS will win!”
Both the teams are in great form, and this final is going to be a blockbuster battle.
