Since the IPL's inception in 2008, RCB has endured substantial trolling. Virat Kohli has been exclusively associated with RCB since his debut, yet the team hasn't clinched an IPL title in 16 seasons. 

However, following RCB's WPL victory in their second season, Captain Smriti Mandhana praised the franchise icon, Virat Kohli, whom she regards as her idol.

In their second season, the RCB women beat Delhi Capitals to secure their maiden title for the franchise. 

Despite multiple losses in IPL and Champions League finals, RCB had always faced immense pressure to clinch titles, boasting a roster of stellar players over the years. 

During a period when Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers were in their prime, they collectively failed to capture the IPL title.

This victory holds significant personal importance for Kohli, who, beyond being a player and a legend, harbours a deep affection for RCB. 

His attachment to the team and its culture is well-known, and Kohli demonstrated this by FaceTiming Smriti Mandhana and the team the moment they lifted the trophy.


"We Had The Luck" - Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana attributes her team's success to luck, contrasting it with the fortunes Virat Kohli and his teammates faced in the IPL. 

As a devoted fan of Kohli and the franchise, Mandhana staunchly defends Kohli, suggesting that their lack of IPL success wasn't due to any shortcomings but rather the unpredictability of luck. 

She dedicated the title to the whole RCB family through years and the loyal fans who supported the club in its good and bad times.

"Virat Kohli has achieved a lot. He's a legend of the game, he's won the World Cup and the Champions Trophy. I feel Franchise cricket is a lot about luck, hopefully this Cup has started the luck for RCB. You never know". (JioCinema).

The men's IPL is just around the corner, with RCB gearing up to face the reigning champions, CSK, in Chennai in just four days. Virat Kohli and his teammates are embarking on yet another journey with the goal of clinching the coveted trophy this season.
