Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, added a touch of star power to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 final, as they were spotted in the stands of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, cheering for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The couple, known for their Bengaluru roots and love for cricket, joined the sea of red and gold in the grand finale against the Punjab Kings. Sunak was seen celebrating the wicket of Josh Inglis while sitting next to ICC Chairman Jay Shah.
“This is unbelievable, the atmosphere is absolutely buzzing! It’s my first time at an IPL game in India, and I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” Sunak said in a brief on-ground interview after RCB wrapped up their innings.
During the match, Sunak took to X to share a selfie with his wife, captioned: “Let’s go @RCBTweets.”
RCB ended their 17-year title drought on Tuesday by winning their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in a thrilling final.
