Cricket fans are buzzing with excitement as selectors revealed the official squad for the much-awaited international tournament, and it’s the inclusion of three IPL-winning RCB stars that has everyone talking! Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Siraj, and Karn Sharma — who were instrumental in RCB’s historic 2025 IPL title — have been rewarded for their heroics with a national call-up.
Sources say the selection committee was impressed by Patidar’s consistent batting at the top, Siraj’s fiery spells in the death overs, and Karn Sharma’s match-turning leg-spin. Their addition not only bolsters India’s lineup but also sends a message that IPL performance is being given serious weight.
Other regulars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya are included, but it’s the RCB trio that has captured the imagination of fans. Social media exploded with memes and celebration videos as hashtags like “#RCBStarsInBlue” and “#RCBChampionSquad” began trending minutes after the announcement.
Former cricketers lauded the move, calling it a fair reward for players who proved themselves under pressure in IPL playoffs. Experts believe their winning mentality could give India an edge in tight tournament games.
The new-look squad will start their campaign with a high-voltage match against Australia, promising fans plenty of fireworks. With three IPL champions hungry to prove themselves, this tournament could see the dawn of India’s next big stars.
