Virat Kohli guides IPL side to finally win their first title

Virat Kohli RCB Punjab Kings

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended their 17-season drought by winning their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in the final in Ahmedabad.
RCB posted 190-9, with Virat Kohli top-scoring with 43; Punjab Kings were restricted to 184-7 despite Shashank Singh's 61 off 30 balls.
Virat Kohli was visibly emotional as RCB secured the win, shedding their underachievers' tag.
Despite a steady start, RCB's innings saw Kohli anchoring, but the team struggled to form significant partnerships, failing to surpass the 200-mark.
Punjab's chase began strongly, but key wickets taken by Krunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar turned the match in Bengaluru's favour, sealing their victory.
