(Pic Credit: IPL) Timesofindia.com in Ahmedabad: After Josh Hazlewood slipped the second dot of the finals, the large screen at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad appeared the face of Virt Kohl. He was seen how to wipe tears out of his eyes. When the last ball was bowed, it fell to their knees and emotions flowed.His current RCB teammates mobbed him. Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, his former RCB friends with whom he lost the finals in 2016, were there to hug him. His biggest supporter, wife Anushka Sharma, was there to live at the moment. In another emotional video he jumps and hugs former Indian coach Ravi Shastri.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe!From the beginning of the day it seemed to be written in the stars. The stadium entered the sea No. 18. From a distance, the singing “Virat, Virat” and “RCB, RCB” were easily heard. The crowd was one -sided. They cheered for each RCB border, six and the goal – but they fell silent when Kohl was released.Who is the IPL player?When he collapsed to the ground after the last ball, the first person to reach him was a cameraman – who probably had only one job: to capture his emotions.Virat generally wears his heart on his sleeve. There was the usual roar of the goals, but after won the iPl-trophy, which he persecuted for 18 years-some of them lacked. It was a subdued celebration from Kohl. Maybe because he never believed that this day would come. He even admitted so much.
“Especially special feeling”: Andy Flower Hails Virat Kohli, RCB after historical victory
“I never thought this day would come,” he told the broadcasters after the match.“It’s been 18 long years. I gave this team youth, my first -class and my experience. I tried to win this season I played, and I gave everything I have. Finally this moment comes – it’s an incredible feeling.”The last few years have not been kind to the varat. He was persecuted by poor form, doubt, criticism and the struggle for mental health. Gave up the captain in all three formats – including IPL. And it seemed that Kohli disappeared, just like many sports icons.But he fought with his demons. On the MCG in the World Cup 2022 T20, one of the largest T20i knocks against Pakistan produced. While the T20s was never considered to be its strength, the 50-over cricket was always his domain-where he ruled the highest. He was a leading running shooter in the ODI World Cup 2023, where a broken dream was a broken dream.He got up again. He was asked to open alongside Rohit Sharma before the World Cup 2024 T20. In most of the tournament, he tried to score a stunning 76 in the finals against South Africa in Barbados. Then he added another feathers to his cap by winning the 2025 champions trophy.Kohli shocked the cricket world by announcing his retirement from the test cricket – the format he loved most.Even after winning the IPL after so many years, he did not consider it near his success in the test cricket.“This moment is right there with the best moments I had in my career, but still ranks five levels under the test cricket. I love and appreciate the format so much,” Matthew told Hayden after the match.“I just want to urge young people who come to treat this format with respect. If you want to earn respect worldwide, take a test cricket, give him your heart and soul – and when you come out, you will get respect the cricket world and legends like you.”
“Bold, dynamic, different”: Ponting hails pbks young weapons despite the final loss
Kohli’s sentiments were headed by Kings, the head coach of Kings Ricky Ponting.“I probably am one of the biggest purists who have still been involved in the game, whether I train or comment. My first love is a test cricket – he has always been,” he told reporters.“I fully understand what the virat means. He had a wonderful test career and an even better career of white ball that is still going on. I’m not sure how much Slavnice is, but I think he is celebrating long and hard this evening over the next few days,” Ponting said.Now, with an eighteen -year -old, finally and a monkey outside the RCB back, is the question: will we now see the dominant RCB in the coming years? And with Virat Kohli, scoring is still running for fun, it’s a dangerous sign for all other teams.Attach the seat belts – because, as the virat said, his heart and soul are with Bangalore. This clearly means that it has not yet happened and the big time comes to the next.
