IPL 2025: Anand Mahindra pays tribute to ‘loyal' Virat Kohli as he lifts cup for RCB for 1st time in 18 years
IPL 2025: Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra Group, paid an emotional tribute to the star cricketer, 'loyal' Virat Kohli, as he lifted the IPL cup for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the first time in 18 years. 'Loyalty like this doesn't just win titles — it carves legacies,' Mahindra said in an X post. Highlighting Virat Kohli's unwavering loyalty to the team over the years, despite not winning the championship, Mahindra said, 'For 18 years, Virat Kohli gave his heart to a team that had never touched the trophy.' 'Waiting for the light of that dawn. And now, at last, the stars have answered his faith.' He also quoted Rabindranath Tagore and said, 'Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.' Virat Kohli joined RCB as a 19-year-old soon after winning the 2008 U-19 World Cup. He played in two IPL finals as a player, in 2009 and 2011, and led RCB as a captain to the final of the 2016 season as a 27-year-old. His 973 runs in that gargantuan season remain an IPL record. Kohli relinquished captaincy at the end of the 2021 season and still continued to give his best as a batter. He was the top scorer in the 2025 final for RCB, scoring 43 off 35 balls. 'I gave my youth, my prime, and my experience,' said a teary-eyed Virat Kohli after winning the match. The star cricketer added: 'I have given everything to the team for the last 18 years. I have been loyal to this team, no matter what. I stood with them (fans and team). They stood behind me. I always dreamt of winning this with them.' Virat also compared his IPL win with the trophies he won with the Indian team, and said, 'This is far more special than winning it with anyone else.'

Carlsen reacted by slamming the board and leaving the hall in frustration. India's chess prodigy and the reigning world champion D Gukesh once again made the country proud with his heroics in the Norway Chess 2025 tournament. On Sunday, Gukesh defeated the Norwegian World No. 1 and five-time World Champion, Magnus Carlsen, in the sixth round of the Norway Chess 2025. The 19-year-old defeated Carlsen in the classical format for the very first time in his career - a feat hailed across the Indian sporting landscape. After the match, Carlsen, visibly upset by the loss, slammed the board and exited the playing hall in frustration. The reaction from Carlsen went viral on social media like a wildfire with many fans criticising him. However, famous industrialist and Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra took to X (formerly Twitter) and presented a different side of Carlsen's act. "Carlsen's visible frustration at the end wasn't just a tantrum - it was the greatest compliment the World Champion could receive from the GOAT," wrote Anand on X. "No fist pump. No smirk. Gukesh didn't need one. His silence roared louder than Carlsen's exit," he added.

His silence roared louder than Carlsen's exit. — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) June 2, 2025 Playing against the hometown hero Carlsen in Stavanger (Norway), Gukesh found himself in trouble during the endgame. Carlsen looked set to extend his lead in the tournament with a second consecutive classical win over the Indian prodigy. But in a dramatic turn of events, Carlsen committed a rare blunder in a time scramble, and Gukesh pounced on the opportunity with precision. "There wasn't much I could do, I just had to make the most of it. I was making moves that were tricky for him, and luckily, he got into a time scramble. One thing I've learned from this tournament is that time scrambles can get out of control," said Gukesh. Speaking about Carlsen's outburst, Gukesh also backed his opponent and understood the frustration he must have faced. "I have also banged a lot of tables in my career," said Gukesh after the victory.
