After nearly two decades of waiting, RCB finally lifted their first IPL trophy, and fans, including Bollywood celebrities, can't keep calm.
Virat Kohli's emotional celebration after Royal Challengers Bengaluru's long-awaited IPL victory has taken over the internet. After nearly two decades of waiting, RCB finally lifted their first IPL trophy, and fans, including Bollywood celebrities, can't keep calm.
Actor Ranveer Singh, a known cricket enthusiast and Kohli admirer, took to Instagram to express his joy. He posted a screengrab of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers' identical, animated reactions after RCB dismissed Marcus Stoinis during the IPL 2025 final. Captioning the image, Ranveer wrote, 'This is everything."
While Ranveer has been a long-time supporter of Mumbai Indians, he didn't hold back from cheering for Kohli's team after their monumental win. Earlier this season, after Mumbai Indians' semi-final exit, Ranveer took to Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Not ours this time but still mad proud of the boys @mumbaiindians. Showed our might and mettle in a hard-fought tournament. Still the most feared team in the league. Unbreakable spirit. Indefatigable Indians."
His dual admiration for cricket and sportsmanship was also evident after India's T20 World Cup win in 2024. Following Virat Kohli's announcement of retirement from T20Is, Ranveer had shared a heartfelt note, saying, 'The King dropping the anchor. What a way to cap an incredible career! Virat Kohli."
Ranveer's celebration of RCB's IPL 2025 triumph echoed the sentiments of countless fans across the country, especially those who have supported the franchise through years of close calls and disappointment.
As RCB finally sealed the deal with a win over Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, fans across the globe hailed Kohli's patience and commitment to the team, calling it his ultimate redemption arc.
On the professional front, Ranveer is currently filming Dhurandhar and is also preparing to headline Don 3: The Final Chapter, directed by Farhan Akhtar.
