After 18 years of blood, sweat and heartbreak in Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) colours, Virat Kohli finally got his hands on the elusive IPL trophy after beating Punjab Kings in the final. The scenes were unreal with fireworks in the sky, tears in the eyes and one man standing tall amid it all: Kohli, clutching that silverware like it was a long-lost treasure.

Ashwin Hails Kohli’s Journey With RCB After IPL 2025 Win

And if anyone still has doubts about how big that moment was, Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s words will hit you right in the feels.

Speaking about RCB’s win, Ravi Ashwin didn’t mince words. He said what millions were already feeling:

"Virat Kohli deserved to win this IPL trophy. He has been playing for RCB for the past 18 years, and all his hard work and the disappointment he faced over the years, it all led up to this moment. You must have seen, he even got emotional when he won, he deserves to win the Trophy."

Ashwin, who has played against Kohli for most of his career and shared the Indian dressing room with him, knows the grind better than most. And in that moment, it wasn’t about rivalries or franchises, it was about respecting a man who gave everything to a team that never stopped believing.

18 Years Of Loyalty And Heartbreak

Kohli’s loyalty to RCB is the stuff of legends. He stuck with the team when the going got tough. Season after season, he poured his heart out. He had Orange Caps, hundreds, records galore but never the trophy. Until now.

This was a full-circle moment. A story of loyalty finally paying off. And when the final ball was bowled and the celebrations kicked in, Kohli couldn’t hold back. His eyes welled up, his emotions came pouring out and fans across the globe joined in on the tears.

Respect From A Fellow Great

Ashwin’s words carried weight because this was respect from one GOAT to another. They have been warriors together, shared epic wins and gutting losses. Ashwin’s always been a straight shooter and when he says Kohli deserved this, you know it is coming from the heart.

There is a certain charm in seeing legends appreciate each other and this was one of those moments where the cricketing fraternity united behind a man who has given everything to the game.

Virat Kohli’s Legacy Lives On

With the IPL trophy finally in his bag, Kohli has officially ticked every box. And honestly, there is not much left for him to prove. But knowing him, he is just getting started. Because champions like Kohli keep chasing greatness.

And now, thanks to this long-awaited title, the “but he hasn’t won an IPL” debate can finally be put to rest.

Case closed. Trophy lifted. Legacy sealed.
