There was a surprise star in the stands at the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad — Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was spotted at the Narendra Modi Stadium, enjoying the blockbuster clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings.

Sunak, seated alongside ICC Chairman Jay Shah, was seen applauding enthusiastically after RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya took a key wicket to further dent Punjab Kings’ chase.

The cameras caught Sunak on his feet, smiling and clapping as Pandya struck — a moment that quickly went viral on social media, with many fans noting that the former British PM appeared to be backing RCB in the high-stakes final.

At the time of the moment, Punjab Kings were 88/3 after 11 overs, still needing 103 runs from 54 balls to chase down RCB’s 190/9.

While cricket is hugely popular among the British Indian community, this rare public appearance by Sunak at an IPL final added an extra layer of glamour and global buzz to the night’s proceedings.
