Virat Kohli Hugs AB De Villiers During Celebrations As RCB Win IPL 2025
Last Updated: Virat Kohli embraced AB de Villiers after Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally won the Indian Premier League title. Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) triumphed over 18 years of setbacks and disappointment on Tuesday night, defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs to secure their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title. What made the victory even more special was the fact that AB de Villiers was at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to watch the final. The South African legend was at the boundary lines during the last few overs. When the celebrations began after RCB finally won the final, Kohli went searching for de Villiers. As the pair met, the two RCB legends embraced. 'Well done," de Villiers was heard telling Kohli in his ear as they hugged, the brothers in arms soaking in the momentous occasion. WATCH: Kohli searched for Abd ..they ran together and hugged like kids 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ #RCBvsPBKS Congratulations Rcb — ????????????????????????🦅 (@KottapalliAbhi2) June 3, 2025 Kohli also paid tribute to his close friend, ABD. 'What ABD has done for the franchise is tremendous. I told him, 'This win is as much yours as it is ours. I want you to celebrate with us.' He's been the 'Player of the Match' most times in the franchise despite being retired for four years. 'This shows the impact he's had on the league, the team, and me. He deserves to be on the podium, lifting the Cup." The final was a tense affair, but RCB channelled their years of frustration into a powerful comeback and a convincing victory. A partisan crowd remained loyal even as RCB struggled with their batting, posting a total of 190/9, with Kohli contributing a hard-fought 43 off 35 balls.

Shashank Singh's valiant 61 not out from 30 balls (three fours, six sixes) proved too little, too late, as Punjab Kings finished at 184/7. First Published: June 04, 2025, 07:40 IST

These two guys have given their everything, so it is equally theirs, too,' he added.
