Rajat Patidar broke captain's tradition for Virat Kohli, unnoticed act from IPL 2025 Final now wins hearts
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, led by Rajat Patidar, broke their trophy drought as the franchise won their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title earlier this week after defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in the summit clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Days have passed since the final, but several unseen videos from the victory celebrations continue to make their way on social media. A fresh video has made its way online, showing Rajat Patidar breaking the captain's tradition for Virat Kohli and letting the RCB talisman sign the camera. Over the last few years, it has become a tradition for the IPL-winning captain to sign the camera after the victory in the final. However, Rajat Patidar refrained from doing the act as he wanted Virat Kohli to take centre stage and do the same. An unseen video from the IPL win celebrations in Ahmedabad shows Patidar going up to Kohli and urging him to come forward and sign the camera. Kohli looked hesitant at first. However, upon insistence, the 36-year-old went up to the camera to give his signature, much to the elation of the entire RCB contingent. For the uninitiated, Rajat Patidar is just the fourth IPL captain after Shane Warne, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya to win the tournament in his debut season as the skipper. Virat Kohli was the standout performer for RCB in the IPL 2025 season, scoring 657 runs in 15 innings at an average of 54.75 and a strike rate of 144.71. He also smashed eight half-centuries and all of these knocks came in a winning cause. Kohli, who waited 18 years to win the IPL, was visibly left in tears after the win against Punjab Kings in the summit clash. All of his RCB teammates ran up to him following the last ball, which was bowled by Josh Hazlewood. Also Read: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma absence felt immediately after Team India lands in England During the post-match presentation, Kohli explained his thoughts on winning the tournament and ending a long wait, saying, 'This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team. It has been 18 long years. I have given this team my youth, my prime and my experience, and I have tried to win this every season that I have come. I have given everything I have and to finally have this moment come, it is an unbelievable feeling.' 'I never thought this day would come. I was overcome with emotions as soon as the last ball was bowled and this means so much to me, as I said I have given each and every ounce of energy to this team and to finally win an IPL is an amazing feeling,' he added. However, RCB's victory celebrations in Bengaluru the next day after the IPL win, took a horrendous turn after a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives and injured 33. RCB's marketing and revenue head, Nikhil Sosale was arrested on Friday along with three members of the event management company, DNA. The secretary and treasurer of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) have also resigned.

Shiny Wilson bids farewell to FCI
Shiny Wilson, who was the first woman flag bearer at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and the first Indian woman athlete to reach the women's 800 m semifinals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, retired from service after four decades. The four-time Olympian was serving as general manager Food Corporation of India (FCI) located in Nungambakkam. The farewell function was an emotional event for Shiny. It was attended by Ashutosh Agnihotri, chairman and managing director FCI; and Jacintha Lazarus, executive director (south), FCI. Her husband, Wilson Cherian, an international swimmer, who retired from ICF after 43 years of service, was also present. Known for her simplicity and reticent nature, Shiny was held in high esteem at FCI, and her farewell function proved why she is a respected personality. At her acceptance speech, Shiny recalled her childhood days and her Olympics experience. Shiny has taken part in three Asian Games, six Asian championships and seven SAF Games. She reminisced about her 41 years and three months of service in FCI. 'I am thankful to have put a long and satisfying service at FCI,' she said while praising FCI's sports scholarship given to sportspersons and its consistency in recruiting sportspersons. Shiny's love, passion and commitment to athletics is astonishing. After a few months after giving birth to her first daughter in October 1990, she started to train in Bengaluru. 'When my daughter was nine months old, I became a National champion in 800m and within a year, I won the Asian championships 400m gold and 800m silver,' said Shiny, a resident of Gill Nagar in Choolaimedu. Shiny came to Chennai from Kerala in 1992-93 and went to represent Tamil Nadu in numerous National competitions. After she joined FCI in 1984, she was one of those instrumental in fast-tracking the scholarships initiative of the organisation that has still today helped promising sportspersons get the much-needed stipend. Shiny continued to perform and shine in global and Asian events while being an employee of FCI. So much so that she even used to take part in all athletics events organised by FCI at the peak of her athletic prowess. With her time at FCI coming to an end, Shiny will definitely enjoy her free time while putting her heart and soul into her many roles which includes selector of the Indian team and a nominated member of the Asian Athletic Commission.
