As the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League enters its crucial phase, the competition for playoff spots is intensifying. Franchises are pushing hard to secure a top-four finish, and fans are witnessing thrilling performances every day. Among the frontrunners is Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), currently positioned at the 4th spot on the points table. The team, led by Rajat Patidar with Virat Kohli as the batting mainstay, has found a good rhythm after a mixed start to their campaign.
Mohammad Amir names his favourite IPL team and player
Amid the ongoing action, Pakistan’s seasoned pacer Mohammad Amir has made a heartfelt revelation about his favourite IPL team and player. Speaking to Samaa Sports, Amir picked RCB as his favourite franchise and named Kohli as the reason behind it. Amir also reckoned that Kohli deserves to win an IPL title.
“RCB is my favourite IPL team because of Virat Kohli. Virat is my favourite player. And Virat deserves to win the IPL Trophy,” said Amir.
Amir’s admiration for Kohli is well-documented, and the two have often shared mutual respect despite being on-field rivals. By openly backing RCB, Amir has also echoed the sentiments of many cricket lovers who wish to see the long-awaited IPL title in Kohli’s hands.
Could this be the breakthrough season for the star-studded side?
Notably, RCB’s history in the IPL has been filled with near misses, heartbreaks, and intense fan loyalty. Despite boasting star-studded lineups over the years, the franchise has yet to win an IPL title. With consistent performances from Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, and others, the 2025 season is shaping up as a potential breakthrough. If the team continues its current form and momentum into the playoffs, this could finally be the season RCB fans — and supporters like Amir — have been waiting for.
