Virat Kohli finally lifts IPL title with RCB

The recently concluded IPL 2025 was a high moment for Virat Kohli. After 18 long seasons, he finally lifted the IPL trophy as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched the title.

Following the win, the 36-year-old broke down and was elated by the victory.

"This team made the dream possible, a season I'll never forget. We've thoroughly enjoyed the ride over the last 2.5 months. This one is for the fans of RCB who never ever left our side in the worst of times. This one is for all the years of heartbreak and disappointment. This is for every inch of effort left on the field playing for this team. As far as the IPL trophy is concerned - you've made me wait 18 years to be able to lift you and celebrate my friend, but it's been absolutely worth the wait," Kohli wrote on Instagram.
