RCB finally lifted their first IPL trophy by defeating PBKS in a tense final, with emotional scenes featuring Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma going viral. Meanwhile, fans also empathized with Preity Zinta, who once again faced heartbreak despite years of loyal support to Punjab Kings.
Royal Challengers Bangalore finally ended their long wait, lifting their maiden Indian Premier League trophy by defeating Punjab Kings by 6 runs in a nail-biting final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. While RCB fans and players erupted in celebration, it was an emotional night filled with contrasting scenes—Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma shared a tearful hug on the field.

With Virat Kohli also winning an IPL trophy now, only motivation left to watch IPL as of today is to see Preity Zinta winning IPL trophy.
