The RCBa team won their first IPL title after 18 years by defeating Punjab Kings by 6 wickets in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After this historic victory, former team owner Vijay Mallya reinforced his old memories related to RCB during a podcast with Raj Shamani and also described some of his incomplete desires.
“If these four players in the team Had there been a trophy RCB, he would have won “
During the conversation on Raj Shamani’s podcast, when Vijay Mallya was asked that if he could choose any player in the RCB auction, which players would he like to take it in his team. Answer this question Mallya has named the names of four Indian players without delay, which he wants to see in his team.
Mallya further said in the podcast, “If my dreams could come true, then Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, these four players would have been in the team of RCB, then no other player would be needed and the IPL trophy would win RCB.”

Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav, all three players were part of the T20 World Cup to win the T20 World Cup in 2024 and now these three players are considered to be the backbone of the Indian cricket team.
KL Rahul was once included in the RCB team, but later he left RCB and became part of other teams. At the same time, players like Rishabh Pant, Jaspreet Bumrah and Suryakumar have not yet played in the RCB team.
“It was a matter of pride to choose Kohli”
Although Vijay Mallya never got a chance to include these four players in the team, but in this podcast, he kept his feelings openly about Virat Kohli.
Mallya said that when he started RCB in 2008, he had chosen Virat Kohli as a young player. Today, after 18 years, Kohli is the same player who has made RCB’s team champion.
Vijay Mallya wrote on his X profile (Twitter) after RCB’s IPL title, “When I made RCB’s TOM, I dream that IPL trophy came to Bengaluru. I had the privilege of choosing the greatest player of cricket Virat Kohli as a youth in today’s time and it is a big thing that he had supported the team for 18 years.
