Royal Challengers Bengaluru Director of Cricket, Mo Bobat, has urged his players to stay hungry and aim for a consecutive IPL title in 2026. Following RCB’s first-ever IPL triumph after 17 years, Bobat addressed the team in the dressing room with a firm message: this should only be the beginning. In a speech shared by RCB on social media, Bobat said, "I am gonna ask you to really make sure that we get addicted to this feeling of winning. Because this is a start. Not many teams have won back-to-back IPL titles. It has happened twice before. Next year, we will have a final in Bangalore and we will go again. So get addicted to the feeling tonight. Because it's that feeling which then drives the hunger to go again next year. It's that addiction to winning, winning that trophy and sharing these moments which spurs us on and drives us on. We will be back next year and win that trophy again." RCB clinched the 2025 title after beating Punjab Kings by six runs in a tense final in Ahmedabad. Skipper Rajat Patidar led from the front as RCB posted 191. Despite late pressure, the bowlers held on. This win held deep meaning for the team, especially for Virat Kohli, who has been with the franchise since 2008. Bobat lauded Kohli's enduring loyalty.

He said, "This is without question one of the most anticipated trophies in world sport. When we think about what our fans have gone through, when we think about what Virat has gone through all those years. It's a hugely anticipated trophy and the magnitude of that will hit us. When I talk about what we have gone through this season, one word comes to my mind: Special." RCB won all seven away matches in the league stage. The tournament was briefly halted due to military tensions between India and Pakistan. The team regrouped after the break and stayed unbeaten in the playoffs. Bobat concluded "Everybody contributed. There were away wins. That's a special thing we ticked off. Think about the disruptions we had... injuries and all sorts of things we fought back. In the years to come... when you see somebody from this room, you will know that you have shared this season together. That’s what sports is all about."
