Greatest lessons from RCB's IPL triumph

In a season that will be remembered not just for the cricket, but for the emotions Lit stirred across the world, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally did it. After years of heartbreak, near-misses, and relentless belief from their fans, they lifted their first-ever IPL trophy in 2025.

But what made this victory extraordinary wasn't just the result. It was the story behind it, a story of redemption, enduring brotherhood, and the invisible but powerful strength of love.

Virat Kohli has played the IPL like a man possessed for over a decade and a half chasing glory, battling criticism, inspiring generations. But in 2025, he wasn't chasing. He was flowing. The pressure was still there, the expectations still sky-high, but Kohli wore it all differently this time. Not with the sharpness of youth, but with the calm wisdom of a veteran who had nothing to prove, yet everything to give.

His performances were vintage Kohli: elegant, controlled, and clutch. But his greatest contribution was intangible belief. In crucial moments, he didn't just anchor innings. He anchored minds. He reminded his team that RCB wasn't cursed, just waiting for the right time. And in 2025, that time arrived.
