Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to face off in the IPL 2025 final on June 3, and the build-up couldn¡¯t be more intense. It¡¯s a big moment for both sides ¡ª neither has ever won the IPL title. RCB are back in the final for the first time in nine years, while PBKS are making their first appearance in 11 years. Both teams have come close before but fallen short, which makes this clash even more special for the fans.
While all eyes are on the match, something else has been catching everyone¡¯s attention during RCB¡¯s recent games ¡ª a masked fan who keeps showing up no matter where the team plays. As the big game awaits, fans online have been busy guessing the identity, and many even believe he might be Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay.
Clad in simple clothes and a handkerchief wrapped over his face, the man has been seen sitting quietly in the stands at multiple RCB games, no matter where they were played. He doesn¡¯t cheer much but always seems to know exactly when the cameras are watching. Sometimes, he even stares directly into the lens.
Fans first thought he might be a regular superfan, but as his appearances became more frequent and well-timed, theories started popping up online. Some say he¡¯s part of a secret agency; others joke he might actually be Thalapathy Vijay trying to keep a low profile.
Social media has exploded with speculation, memes, and guesses about the masked man's real identity.
When an RCB fan dropped a post asking, "Who's this mysterious guy?" many in the comments section had one answer: Thalapathy Vijay.
Meanwhile, one user joked, "A heartbroken time traveler, revisiting every game trying to alter the timeline so that RCB doesn't lose again...but it always happens."
Another added, "Guy who took sick leave to be at the game, hiding his face to not get recognized by his officials."
The IPL 2025 final is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with over 100,000 fans expected to pack the stands. It¡¯s a massive occasion for both sides. RCB, led by a strong batting lineup, are hoping to finally lift their first-ever trophy after falling short in previous attempts. For Punjab Kings, this marks their first final since 2014, and they too are eyeing a fresh chapter. With so much history and hunger on both sides, the stage is perfectly set for a blockbuster finish.
