For someone who has carried the weight of expectation season after season, it was a moment of pure joy. Kohli was also seen wearing a special T-shirt with ‘One felt good, we did it twice’ printed on the back – a fitting tribute to RCB’s successful title defence.RCB shared a video of Kohli and Anushka dancing and enjoying the moment he won the title. The former captain was also seen making out with batting coach Dinesh Karthik as the celebrations continued late into the night.Kohli played a key role in the final, remaining unbeaten on 75 after the RCB bowlers laid the foundation for a five-wicket win.“We’ve had to wait so long and then just to have a group of guys where you feel like you’re hitting the ground running, you don’t have to be the one picking up every time,” Kohli told the host broadcast.“These guys are behind you (and) around you who can win cricket for you. We also have many Man of the Match awards spread across the group.”“Look at the world-class bowling of Hoffa (Josh Hazlewood), Bhuv (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), Duffa (Jacob Duffy) and Krunal Pandya – you can count on him like always – Rasikh (Salam) Dar has been brilliant this season,” Kohli said.Kohli said this year’s final looked a lot different from last year.“I told a few of the guys it wasn’t as much pressure as last year, we knew the ability we had in the group,” he said.“We got top of the table, there’s a reason we got here first and we just said one thing: ‘If we stick to our cricket, if we stick to our plans, we’re the best team in the competition’ and there’s a reason we’ve done well so far.”“We finished top of the league in the group stage and just the ability (that) we have, the maturity, the composure of the boys showed again tonight and it was a clinical performance that carried the whole tournament,” Kohli said.
