Virat Kohli praised Rajat Patidar as the media and people didn’t give him the due credit for RCB’s win
RCB won the IPL 2025 after defeating Preity Zinta’s team, Punjab Kings, in the finals. The team showed its calibre by winning nine out of the fourteen league matches. The team defeated the Punjab Kings twice, first in the qualifier and then in the finals. Ever since the IPL started in 2008, RCB has been one of the teams that has not won any season, but their wish to lift the trophy came true in 2025. Meanwhile, Virat had an emotional outburst after witnessing the moment.
