After an eighteen-year dry spell, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their maiden IPL trophy on Tuesday night, June 3, to raucous celebrations across the country. Multiple metropolises witnessed crowds celebrating on the streets and fireworks bursting in the skies through the night.
RCB secured their victory in the IPL finale against Punjab Kings, beating their opponents by six runs. Former RCB skipper Virat Kohli finally added the one trophy that has eluded him to his collection, just as he finishes his career in the Test cricket format.
Kohli has been a member of the team throughout the team’s run in the IPL, bringing them threateningly close to the title multiple times. As the final over began and it was clear RCB would walk away the victors, Kohli began to shed tears of happiness.
The Karnataka-based team came of age with Kohli himself – he was heard saying, “I have given RCB my youth, my prime, and my experience”.
