Virat Kohli shared a poignant moment on social media after Royal Challengers Bangalore lifted their maiden IPL trophy in Ahmedabad, posting a photo holding the trophy alongside AB de Villiers with the caption: “Equally yours, Biscotti.” The emotional tribute came minutes after RCB edged out Punjab Kings by 6 runs in a nerve-wracking IPL 2025 final.

Reflecting on the triumph, Kohli said:“This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team. It’s been 18 long years. I’ve given this team my youth, prime and experience. I’ve tried to win it every season, gave it everything I have. To finally have it is an unbelievable feeling. Never thought this day would come. I was overcome with emotion after the last ball was bowled. Gave each and every ounce of my energy and it’s an amazing feeling.”
The RCB legend then turned his attention to the man many fans associate just as strongly with the franchise.“What ABD has done for the franchise is tremendous. I told him, ‘this win is as much yours as it is ours. I want you to celebrate with us.’ He’s been the Player of the Match most times in our history despite being retired for four years. That tells you the impact he’s had on the league, on the team, and on me. He deserves to be on the podium, lifting the cup.”Quiz: Who’s that IPL player? In the final, RCB posted a gritty 190/9 with Kohli contributing 43 off 35 balls. Despite a fierce fightback from PBKS, led by Shashank Singh’s 61* off 30, a composed final over from Josh Hazlewood sealed RCB’s fairytale win. Years of heartbreak finally transformed into tears of joy—and for Kohli and de Villiers, it was a moment equally shared.
