Sun Jun 01 13:04:53 UTC 2025: **RCB One Win Away From IPL Glory, England Legends Fear Dinesh Karthik’s ‘Unbearable’ Celebration**
**Bengaluru, India** – The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are on the cusp of their first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) title after a dominant performance in Qualifier 1. As fans eagerly await the final, former England cricket stars Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton are jokingly expressing their concern about RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik’s potential reaction to a victory.
Karthik, a former cricket pundit, joined RCB as a mentor this season and is now one win away from achieving what no other coach has managed with the franchise. Hussain joked on a Sky Sports podcast that if RCB wins, Karthik will become “unbearable”. Atherton added that he imagines Karthik acting like John Terry, front and center during the trophy presentation with Virat Kohli.
Karthik’s role extends beyond the dressing room, as he’s been seen actively guiding the team from the sidelines. Reflecting on his involvement, Karthik expressed his passion for RCB and his desire to be part of the team’s journey towards winning the elusive IPL trophy.
RCB now awaits the winner of the Qualifier 2 match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians to determine their opponent in the final.
