In a recent event, Kannada actress Varsha Bollamma stirred excitement among cricket fans as she revealed her longstanding desire to witness superstar cricketer Virat Kohli clinch the coveted IPL trophy. Bollamma, who had previously confessed her admiration for Kohli as her celebrity crush, expressed her dream passionately, igniting a wave of anticipation among fans.

Despite Kohli's remarkable career achievements, including numerous records and accolades, the IPL trophy has remained elusive for him, particularly with his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Last season, RCB finished sixth, missing the playoffs despite Kohli's stellar performance, where he amassed 639 runs at an average of 53.25, with a strike rate of 139.82.

“Virat Kohli holding that cup, that is it….I started watching IPL for him. That is my only dream, and….E sala…this time he will.”

Kohli's dominance in the IPL is undeniable, holding the record for the league's all-time leading run-scorer with an impressive tally of 7,263 runs in 237 matches, including seven centuries and 50 half-centuries. Notably, his phenomenal single-season record of 973 runs in 2016 propelled RCB to the final, marking their most recent appearance in the championship match.

As RCB gears up for IPL 2024, commencing with an opener against defending champions Chennai Super Kings on March 22, Kohli's absence in the ongoing India-England Test series due to the birth of his second child hasn't dampened hopes.
