Internet desk. Virat Kohli won the T20 World Cup last year last year, at the same time, a few months ago the Champions Trophy and finally tonight, the IPL title. The person who has been with RCB for almost two decades and who has seen everything – enthusiasm and heart breaks – Kohli’s cry was natural for him. But after that the words coming out of his mouth revealed the real importance of victory. Kohli started with this team when this team was formed. Kohli was not even 18 years old in 2008. From starting as a teenager to captaining the team and now becoming the veteran of world cricket, Kohli has finally come to know what it is to win the IPL. Even if he handled himself with those tears of happiness. Even if he celebrated the biggest win of his career with his wife Anushka Sharma.
After the victory, Kohli said that this victory is for the fans as much as it is for the team. It has been 18 years. I have given this team my youth, my best and my experience. I have tried to win it every season, I have given everything. After all, winning is an incredible feeling. Never thought that this day would come, after the last ball was thrown, I was emotional. If I honestly, it is at the top. As I said, I have given everything in the last 18 years. I have been loyal to this team, no matter what. I also came to such moments when I thought something else, but I stayed with this team. I was standing behind them, they were standing behind me. And I always dreamed of winning with him. And this is more special than winning with someone else because my heart is with Bangalore, my soul is with Bangalore.
A few years ago, Kohli was asked if he would ever play for a team in the IPL that is not RCB. After all, the greatest players have also changed the franchise. Rohit Sharma, the only player to win six IPL trophy, started with the Deccan Chargers before becoming veteran with Mumbai Indians. MS Dhoni also had to join Rising Pune Supergiant when Chennai Super Kings were banned for two years. Even de Villiers were with Delhi Capitals when they were Daredevils. But a person who with RCB, with a franchise is forever, in every good and bad time, at any time without a second idea, he is Kohli.
