Adam Gilchrist’s Hilarious Reason Behind Predicting RCB's Rock Bottom Finish in IPL 2025

"I think there's a good chance (RCB finishes last), because I'm basing it on the fact that there are just too many English players in the squad. So, RCB. On the back of having too many Englishmen in there," Gilchrist commented in a sarcastic way during an appearance on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.

Gilchrist, who co-hosts the Club Prairie Fire podcast with former England captain Michael Vaughan, may be making this bold statement in order to tease Vaughan.

"Nothing against Virat, nothing against their fans. I apologize to the fans, but you've got to talk to your recruiting agents," Gilchrist further gave elaboration. RCB’s priciest English acquisition was wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt, who impressed while playing for the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the year 2024. Salt was secured by RCB for Rupees 11.5 crore.

The franchise also bought Liam Livingstone for INR 8.75 crore and Jacob Bethell for INR 2.6 crore at the time of  the mega auction.
