Canadian rapper Drake has placed a massive $750,000 (around Rs 6.4 crore) bet on Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win the IPL 2025 title. He shared the bet slip on Instagram, using the crypto platform Stake. If RCB wins, Drake could take home over $1.3 million (about Rs 11.1 crore).

He captioned the post with RCB’s slogan, “Ee Sala Cup Namde.” The move surprised many fans, especially those in North America, where cricket isn’t as popular. RCB will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in tonight’s final in Ahmedabad. Both teams are chasing their first-ever IPL title. RCB is led by Rajat Patidar, while PBKS is captained by Shreyas Iyer.

The season has seen huge betting action. Reports say over a billion dollars have been wagered so far. RCB beat PBKS earlier in Qualifier 1. Virat Kohli has led from the front, scoring over 600 runs. With big stars and big bets, tonight’s final is set to thrill.
