However, the England star also shared his feelings and opinion about Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). He said that after Bengaluru bought him in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He immediately felt like he was a natural fit for the team.

Speaking on the RCB podcast, Phil Salt also explained that the franchise’s playing style and clear communication made him transition smooth, comfortable and also helped to improve his batting style as well.

“My first thought was that this is a team I would really suit playing for. The way RCB have always carried themselves, the brand of cricket they play, it all appealed to me. From my very first conversation with Mo (Bobat) after the auction, I could clearly see why they wanted me and what role they had in mind for me. Everything felt very aligned with my game,” Salt said.
