Iconic cricketer finally lifted his first IPL trophy with Bengaluru after an 18-year wait
Virat Kohli has finally done it. After an 18-year journey filled with heartbreak, near misses, and relentless determination, he has lifted his first IPL trophy with Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Former teammates A.B. de Villiers and Chris Gayle, both retired, were there to witness the historic moment. For years, they battled together but could never cross that final hurdle.
Under Rajat Patidar’s leadership, RCB won the cup they wanted the most, beating Punjab Kings in the final in Ahmedabad. The emotional scenes continued as Kohli rushed to embrace his wife Anushka after the game.
