Ahmedabad: “I have given this team my youth, my prime. I gave it everything I have. I never thought this day would come,” Virat Kohli’s voice trembled, his eyes welled up and an 18-year-long weight lifted off his shoulders as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally lifted their maiden IPL trophy after a dramatic six-run win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) yesterday.
This was more than just a cricketing victory. It was a culmination of nearly two decades of faith, fire and frustration for both Kohli and RCB’s devoted fanbase.
