Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally won their first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) title after 18 years, beating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in a close IPL 2025 Final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
One of the most emotional moments of the night was seeing Virat Kohli in tears after the victory. He ran straight to his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, and hugged her tightly in a heartwarming scene. Anushka, who has supported Kohli since IPL 2014, has stood by him through every up and down, making the celebration even more meaningful.
RCB scored 190 runs in their first innings, with Virat Kohli adding an important 43 runs. PBKS bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Kyle Jamieson did well, taking three wickets each. In reply, PBKS gave a tough fight. Shashank Singh scored 61 runs from just 30 balls, but the team lost by six runs.
