After SRH defeated RCB by 42 runs in IPL 2025, RCB batter Phil Salt said, "I'm hating...fact that we lost, as will everybody else in an RCB shirt, but we'd rather have this now than in...eliminator." "You can take it as...disappointment or take it for what it is," Salt added. Notably, RCB have already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
