Virat Kohli was overwhelmed after winning IPL 2025:

Virat Kohli had an inundation of tears when the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) finally won the IPL title, ending the 18 -year -long wait. A six -run exciting win against Punjab Kings at the Grand Finale in Ahmedabad on Tuesday gave a pleasant end to one of the most poignant stories of the IPL. As soon as Josh Hazlewood bowled the last ball and Shashank Singh blown it for a six, Kohli fell on the field, failing to stop his feelings. The entire team of RCB ran to him, and players like Rajat Patidar, Krunal Pandya, and Jitesh Sharma celebrated him and celebrated this historic moment.

This victory was the end of a long and difficult journey for Kohli. Since 2008, Kohli has been the face of RCB, undergoing close occasions of 2009, 2011 and 2016 undergoing a period of disappointing defeat. Every year, he returned with the same passion and hope that it would probably be his year. This victory is also special because Kohli has represented only RCB in all 18 seasons of IPL. Despite their magnificent innings, the team failed again and again, and faced trolling of fans and critics.

When Virat Kohli became emotional

On that magnificent night, in Ahmedabad, Kohli stood near the boundary line, hands on the head, eyes filled with tears. This scene used to tell the story of that evening – a person who gave everything for his franchise, finally he got his reward. Between the celebrations, former RCB stars AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle also came on the field and embraced Kohli and joined this joy. Kohli also called his wife, actress Anushka Sharma on the field to be a part of this historic moment when RCB finally raised the IPL trophy.

The tears say it all 🥹

An 1 1—yar wait come to an end 👏
