New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson shared his thoughts after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won IPL 2025. He played for Punjab Kings (PBKS) this season but was with RCB in 2024. Ferguson said he felt mixed emotions watching the final because he wanted PBKS to win but was happy for his former RCB teammates. He praised RCB’s strong team spirit and leadership by Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and coach Andy Flower. Ferguson said RCB’s comeback from a poor start to reach playoffs was impressive. He also mentioned that RCB’s management communicated well when they released him before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Ferguson called being released part of franchise cricket and said he values the memories with RCB. To handle such changes, players should stay positive and focus on future opportunities.
