Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally have an IPL title! And the star batter Virat Kohli could not control his tears when RCB was confirmed winners of the 18th season of the IPL.
Tears started coming to his eyes during the last over of the match when Punjab Kings' batter Shashank Singh missed the first two deliveries. Though he hit the next four deliveries for boundaries but that was not enough for the Kings as they lost the match by six runs.
It was a very emotional moment for Virat Kohli, who has been part of the RCB franchise for the last 18 years. This is the first title for RCB, and they won this with a 100 per cent track record outside their home venue.
Kohli made 43 runs off 35 balls in the final match, which led his side to a big total of 190 runs. Punjab Kings started well but could not cross the line and eventually lost the match by six runs.
Josh Hazlewood defended 29 runs in the 20th over, leaving Virat Kohli with tear-filled eyes, hiding his face in his palms. Surrounded by teammates, he faced the most important moment of his 18-year career.
This moment showcased a profound relationship between Kohli and RCB, filled with extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows. Eighteen years ago, Kohli was an ambitious, chubby youth from South Delhi aiming to conquer the world.
He stood out in a locker room of legends like Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble. Despite this, RCB believed in him. And now, he has won a trophy and have played a big role in the title win.
