Phil Salt’s Heroic Return Ignites RCB's Hopes Ahead of IPL 2025 Final
What a story this is—pure drama, dedication, and timing! Phil Salt, the dynamic English batter and a vital cog in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s machine, has made a sensational return to the squad just hours before the IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings. His reappearance isn’t just a boost for the fans—it’s a powerful emotional lift for the entire RCB camp.
Until yesterday, Salt’s participation in the final was under serious doubt. He had flown back to England to be with his partner for the birth of their first child, and it was unclear if he would return in time—let alone be match-ready. But in a move that highlights both commitment and courage, Salt completed the long round trip and was spotted stepping off the RCB team bus in Ahmedabad on the very morning of the final. Talk about clutch timing!

This isn’t just any player we’re talking about. Salt has been one of RCB’s most consistent and explosive performers this season—racking up 387 runs in 12 matches with a blazing strike rate of 175.90. His presence at the top of the order has often set the tone for RCB's innings, and without him, the side would’ve been staring down the barrel, especially with Jacob Bethell already unavailable due to international duty.
Rajat Patidar, the stand-in skipper, acknowledged in a recent video how the entire team is drawing strength from each other and focusing on process over pressure. And with Salt back, that process just got a turbo boost.
For the fans, it’s not just about strategy and stats—it’s about belief. Seeing Salt rejoin his teammates at this crucial juncture is the kind of moment that adds heart to a sport built on skill. Whether or not RCB finally clinches that long-awaited title, one thing’s for sure—Phil Salt’s return is already the stuff of IPL legend.
