RCB was crowned the IPL 2025 winner after their six-run victory in the finals against Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings.
After RCB won their first-ever title in the IPL 2025, players and the fans have been celebrating the victory big time. Speaking about Anushka after the win, Kohli said, “She has stood by me through thick and thin – 100 percent. She’s been coming here, supporting RCB since 2014. So it’s been 11 years for her as well – relentlessly turning up for games, watching the tough ones, watching us just miss out.”
Kohli said that this win meant a lot to Anushka Sharma and that she would feel proud. “Anushka has seen me at my lowest, been through all the ups and downs with me. She’s felt it all – the pain, the near misses. She’s deeply connected to Bengaluru. She’s a Bangalore girl too, and her bond with RCB is strong. So this is incredibly special for her as well. She’s going to be so, so proud,” he stated.
Virat Kohli also stated that there would be a victory parade in Bengaluru on Thursday.
