2025 was finally the year that Virat Kohli brecame an IPL Champion. In the final Royal Challengers Bengaluru took on the Punjab Kings. RCB batted first and managed a decent, but not amazing score.



In response the Punjab Kings started well, but the wickets fell, and Shreyas Iyer was among them. This set up the thing we'd all been waiting for, an IPL win for RCB and Virat Kohli.
