Virat Kohli hug AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Anushka Sharma after winning IPL 2025 Final

The moment has finally arrived for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB); they are the champions of IPL 2025. RCB, with a dominating performance, defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) and claimed their first-ever IPL title. Emotions are flowing in the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

Virat Kohli covered his face; his eyes went numb. Tears of happiness. After a long, long spell of drought, the franchise with a dedicated fan base fulfilled the dream, a night to remember for fans of Virat Kohli and for the fans of RCB.

Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, pushed themselves to perform their level best, but it is the moment for Virat and RCB. Virat himself probably couldn't believe what was going to happen; he probably couldn't believe his eyes when the scoreboard displayed the final verdict of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, champion of the tournament after making their fourth appearance in the final.

An iconic night for the icon

Before tonight, RCB played three finales but never succeeded; this time they did it. The cosmic connection of 18 RCB fans were talking about proved to be on point. Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, the former RCB players, are presented on the ground after the neck-to-neck contest and hug Virat Kohli, the cornerstone of the team, the solitary person who has been with the franchise during all ups and downs; he deserves it, cricket fans are saying.

Anushka Sharma is there for the perfect frame also with the teammates and staff of the entire RCB family. Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab Kings by 7 runs after making 190 in the first innings. One of the most memorable IPL finals to ever happen in the history of the tournament.
