The availability of RCB great opener Phil Salt for the crucial game, however, also caused some anxiety. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who have advanced to their fourth IPL final this season, and the IPL 2025 final is just hours away.
According to recent sources, the 28-year-old opener arrived back at the RCB camp in Ahmedabad this morning. Salt is one of the Men in Red’s best players this season, so this is wonderful news for them. In the first qualifier, he even achieved an undefeated half-century against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).
Notably, Salt had returned to England to attend the birth of their first child with his spouse, Abe Salt. According to earlier reports, Salt might not be able to make it to the final match, which would be a major setback for the team.
A fan shared a photo of Salt with his brother-in-law at the Ahmedabad airport today, sparking rumours that Salt might be available in the final. The IPL 2024 winner will play in the final match, according to the fan who said that Salt had arrived at the airport at around three in the morning.
