## Resource

18 years. 2 titles. Back to back. Only the 3rd franchise in IPL history. After CSK. After MI. Now RCB. 🏆🏆 As a Bangalore boy and true blue RCB fan — here's how they did it. 6 points. 1. The Management Reset (2023) — RCB finished 6th. Missed playoffs. Made a hard call. Brought in Andy Flower — World Cup winning coach. New structure. New standards. Everything started here. 2. Squad Stability — Same core. Both seasons. Kohli, Patidar, Salt, Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar. A team — not a collection of superstars. 3. Patidar's Captaincy — Dropped by RCB at Ahmedabad in 2021. Won back-to-back finals AT Ahmedabad in 2025 and 2026. Only cricket writes this story. 4. Kohli's Loyalty Rewarded — Stayed when he could have left. 2026 final: 75* off 42 balls. Won it with 2 overs to spare. The king delivered. 5. Bowling Balance — Fixed the one thing that always cost us. Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar, Rasikh, Krunal. Both finals won on bowling discipline. 6. Belief + Execution — Toned down the noise. 9 different match winners in 2025. A champion culture that carried into 2026. Less talk. More cricket. This team is not done. 💬 Comment RCB if you believe we're going for the hattrick in 2027 🔁 Share with every fan who waited 18 years with us. Ee Sala. Munde Sala. Namma RCB. Forever. ❤️🔴 #RCBChampions #IPL2026 #EeSala #NammaRCB #RCBHattrick #VishwasMudagal #BangaloreBoy #ViratKohli #RajatPatidar #AndyFlower
