Bengaluru erupted in jubilation after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinched their first-ever IPL title in a historic 2025 finale. While the city celebrated with fireworks, crowded streets, and thunderous cheers, it was the touching bond between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma that added a deeply emotional layer to the victory — turning a long-awaited triumph into a heartfelt story of love and perseverance.
Leading RCB to their maiden title, Kohli returned to a hero’s welcome, accompanied by his wife, actress Anushka Sharma. Their arrival added warmth and familiarity to the city’s ecstatic celebrations.
In a moving Instagram Story, Anushka shared a video of Kohli on the team bus, holding the long-elusive IPL trophy. Her caption, “Namma Bengaluru current scenes,” beautifully captured the city’s pride and joy after an 18-year wait. In another post, she showed the sea of jubilant fans gathered to celebrate their champions. Smiling faces, waving hands, and phones held high painted a picture of unwavering loyalty. Her caption read, “These happy faces have waited for this very lovingly and patiently,” a touching nod to the dedicated RCB fanbase.
During a post-match interview that quickly went viral, Kohli shared an emotional tribute to Anushka. “She’s been coming here and supporting RCB since 2014. It’s been 11 years for her as well,” he said, highlighting not just her presence, but her patience and belief. He went on to acknowledge her sacrifices, adding, “She’s made countless sacrifices for me to be where I am today.”
Their presence in Bengaluru did more than elevate the festivities — it symbolized the culmination of a journey filled with highs, heartbreaks, and finally, fulfillment. Through every season, Anushka stood by Kohli — cheering in the stands, offering quiet strength off the field, and never losing faith.
As the celebrations continue and Bengaluru basks in the glow of its long-awaited glory, this moment will be remembered not just as a sporting win, but as a testament to partnership, perseverance, and the power of enduring support. This victory belongs to RCB, to every devoted fan — and to a love story that stayed steady through the wait.
