Singer Rahul Vaidya, who previously stirred controversy for calling Virat Kohli a “joker,” now believes that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take home the IPL 2025 trophy. After RCB defeated Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 and secured a spot in the finals, Rahul expressed his full support for the team and praised Kohli’s leadership. Speaking to the paparazzi while out with wife Disha Parmar and their daughter, Rahul shared, “This time, the final is going to be really tough… because RCB has never won the cup, so there’s this heartfelt feeling that RCB will win this time… and you already know how Virat is… Love RCB… I think RCB will win the cup.” Though a proud Mumbaikar, Rahul also gave his thoughts on the upcoming eliminator match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. “I think Mumbai will be in the final… Mumbai is Mumbai, after all,” he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) The singer’s shift in tone comes after he revealed that Kohli had unblocked him on Instagram. Sharing the update, he thanked the cricketer for the gesture and wrote, “Thank you @virat.kohli for unblocking me… you are one of the best batsman cricket has ever seen, and Aap India ka garv ho! Jai Hind.” Earlier, Rahul had claimed Kohli blocked him after he reacted to a social media post featuring Avneet Kaur, which Kohli had liked. As the situation sparked a frenzy online, Kohli issued a clarification, saying it was likely a technical glitch. “There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made,” he noted. Responding to the clarification, Rahul said sarcastically, “Aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So jo bhi ladki ho, please don’t do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram’s mistake, okay?”
