The Indian Premier League final is just around the corner. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has already secured its spot after winning the first qualifier match. Now, fans are buzzing with excitement, predicting that this might be the year RCB wins its first IPL trophy. One enthusiastic fan took it a step further, writing to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with a unique request.
