Royal Challengers Bengaluru have finally done it. After 18 long years and countless heartbreaks, RCB lifted their first-ever IPL trophy by defeating Punjab Kings in a nerve-wracking IPL 2025 final. As Josh Hazlewood bowled the final delivery, which was smashed for a six by Shashank Singh, it didn’t matter—RCB had already sealed the deal with a six-run victory, clinching the elusive title in their fourth attempt at IPL glory.

Virat Kohli in tears, Anushka Sharma overwhelmed with joy

As the final over unfolded and RCB inched closer to victory, Virat Kohli was seen shedding happy tears in the dugout. The emotional moment gripped millions of fans watching across the world, but none more than his biggest supporter — his wife, Anushka Sharma.

The actress was spotted in the stands, jumping in joy alongside family members, her face beaming with pride and relief. Just minutes earlier, she had been seen in distress when Kohli got out during the high-stakes final. Her shocked and heartbroken expressions quickly went viral on social media, resonating with fans who’ve followed the power couple’s journey over the years.






A story of love, support, and victory

Anushka Sharma has often been seen attending Kohli’s matches, standing by him through both triumphs and setbacks. Her presence in the stands has become a familiar sight during IPL seasons, and Sunday night was no exception. Dressed in a chic white oversized shirt and blue jeans, Anushka looked every bit the proud partner as RCB lifted the trophy.




Anushka and Virat’s love story began in 2013 on the sets of a television commercial. The couple kept their relationship under wraps until they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Italy in December 2017. They welcomed their daughter Vamika in January 2021, followed by their son Akaay in February 2024.
