From Heartbreak To Joy: Shades Of Virat Kohli's RCB Journey

Virat Kohli started his IPL career in the inaugural season in 2008.

The player was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the bond continues to date.

A young Virat turned into a veteran through these years but the coveted trophy kept eluding RCB until last year.

It was a series of heartbreaks for Kohli as RCB lost three finals in the first 17 seasons of the tournament.

Come IPL 2025 and both RCB and Virat Kohli lifted their first-ever title in the event history.

Kohli and RCB thus ended an 18-season wait to clinch their maiden IPL trophy.
