India, June 3 -- Rishi Sunak, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has thrown his weight behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as they head into the IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings, Times of India reported.

Speaking during his visit to India, Sunak explained that his connection with RCB began through family. "I'm married into a Bangalore family, so RCB is my team," he said according to the publication.

In fact, he received an RCB jersey as a wedding gift from his in-laws and has followed the team ever since. "We used to go to matches a long time ago. Even when I was in office, I'd cheer for RCB at Downing Street."
