IPL 2025: RCB to have training session in Ahmedabad before MI v PBKS Qualifier 2- Report

In their relentless pursuit of their first championship, Rajat Patidar's Royal Challengers Bengaluru will rehearse at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday afternoon, seven to eight hours prior to the Qualifier 2 match between the Mumbai Indians and the Punjab Kings. 

Bengaluru's training session in the venue's B Ground started at 12 pm and will end at 3 pm. According to a source in Cricbuzz, the local association has prohibited any practice during the evening or night as Qualifier 2 is scheduled for later in the evening. 

Bengaluru will now find out their opponent for the June 3 final by watching the outcome of the Punjab vs. Mumbai match.

On Saturday, May 31, the Bengaluru team touched down in Ahmedabad. They spent a day at Mullanpur following their victory against Punjab in Qualifier 1 on Thursday, and then took a plane to Ahmedabad the following day.

Mumbai, on the other hand, avoided going back to their team hotel following their Eliminator victory over the Gujarat Titans on Friday night by taking a plane from Mullanpur to Ahmedabad.  Mumbai arrived at their hotel in Ahmedabad at five in the morning on Saturday. On Sunday night, MI will play Punjab in Qualifier 2. 

After Mumbai upset the Titans in a close knockout match on Friday night, an entourage of about 65 individuals, including family members and support staff, drove from Mullanpur to the Chandigarh airport, according to the report.

The franchise members and their families were spared from having to return to the hotel thanks to the arrangement. They immediately made their way to the airport, where they were met by a chartered jet.

“We boarded around 2:30 or 3 in the morning and reached Ahmedabad by 4:30. We were at the hotel by around 5," a member of the Mumbai team was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

The Qualifier 2 match on Sunday will decide RCB's opponent for the IPL 2025 final. At the same location where RCB will train, PBKS and MI will square off.
