Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended an 18-year-long wait to lift their first-ever IPL title, defeating Punjab Kings by 6 runs in a dramatic final in Ahmedabad. Defending 190, RCB held their nerve in the death overs with disciplined bowling from Krunal Pandya, Hazlewood, and Vyshak. Virat Kohli, emotional and teary-eyed, finally saw his dream come true as the team shed years of heartbreak and near-misses. Punjab’s spirited chase, led by Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd, fell just short. The win marked redemption for RCB, and an unforgettable moment for their loyal fanbase and the ever-passionate Kohli. (PC:X/RCB)
