Bengaluru clinched a thrilling six-run victory over Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 final held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on Tuesday — a long-awaited triumph that brought 36-year-old Virat Kohli to tears.
Fans at the BGS Ground in Bengaluru danced in jubilation to celebrate the success of their beloved franchise. Kalaburagi's sky was covered in fireworks as the city erupted in joy and painted itself red.
"We literally waited for 18 years for this one Cup, and we won. This is not just a Cup for us," a fan told ANI after the victory.
Kohli, who has been a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru since the league's inception in 2008, had previously led the team to three finals in 2009, 2011, and 2016, only to fall short each time. This historic win marks a poignant milestone in his storied IPL journey.
Now in 267 matches, Virat has scored 771 fours, outdoing former opener Shikhar Dhawan (768). During this season, he ended his campaign with 657 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.75, with a strike rate of 144.71, with eight fifties. His best score this season is 73 not out.
