It's celebration time for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and all its supporters across the world. On Tuesday night, RCB's 18-year wait for an IPL trophy ended in quite some fashion as it beat Punjab Kings by six runs in the final. After the final ended, Kohli - the superstar - failed to get going in the big final with a conservative 35-ball 43 left RCB wanting. Luck seemed to be deserting Kohli's men as none of them could convert starts. But if, at the halfway mark, Punjab looked ahead, everything fell in place for RCB in final analysis. RCB put together an impeccable squad in the mega auction and fired in unison one last time this year to deliver a win which will be remembered for a long time. Until any player in future who bats as well as Kohli and spends as much time in the same franchise as the superstar has, the record of most runs by any player in IPL for a single team will remain with Kohli (9,085) and RCB. That also includes crossing the 600-run mark, which Kohli has done five times including this year with 657 runs. Celebration followed late into the night. During the victory celebration, Kohli and the RCB team took a round of the stadium. At the same time, popular commentator Mayanti Langer was doing commentary for official broadcaster. Mayanti's husband Sturat Binny was part of the RCB team that played the IPL 2026 final. Seeing her, Kohli graciously asked her to touch the IPL trophy. It was beautiful to see Kohli allow Mayanti to touch the trophy, rushing up to her excitedly, and her taking pride in that moment as an RCB girl married to an RCBian. — Faruk (@uf2151593) June 4, 2025 Newly-crowned IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru touched base at the Garden City on Wednesday afternoon amid a roaring welcome from waiting fans, who lined up the streets and thronged the Chinnaswamy stadium to catch a glimpse of the team's stars, including the talismanic Virat Kohli.

Virat Kohli walks up to Mayanti mid-celebrations; his stirring ‘touch the trophy' gesture leaves anchor misty-eyed
The IPL Trophy victory on Tuesday was not just for the Rajat Patidar-led side, which beat Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, but for every player that has been part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru outfit over the last 18 years - Virat Kohli did not just say it, he meant it. And his gesture for broadcaster Mayanti Langer, whose husband Stuart Binny was part of the RCB outfit the last time they reached the final, left her misty-eyed. In a clip that went viral on social media, midway through the celebrations, as the RCB players were going around the ground with the title, Kohli was seen taking the trophy from the hands of Jitesh Sharma and walked over to Mayanti and told her, 'touch the trophy'. The gesture left her emotional. Binny, a Bengaluru boy himself, who retired from all forms of cricket in 2021, was part of the RCB team for two seasons. In his debut campaign, in 2016, RCB reached the final, but was denied the honour after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mayanti, too, has her connections to the city. Despite being originally from Delhi, she shifted her base to Bengaluru over a decade back. "I followed a boy to Bengaluru (laughs). When I met Stuart (cricketer Stuart Binny) and we started getting serious, we decided to stay together after we got engaged. That is how Bengaluru happened. I knew it was a long-term commitment; my husband got an apartment for us, and that is how I came to be here. I love the city, it has a charm about it," he had told Hindustan Times in an interview in 2021. "From Cubbon Park to Chinnaswamy Stadium, there are so many places that I've come to like, and we have a great group of friends here, so it feels like home," she added. The Patidar-led team reached Bengaluru on Wednesday afternoon amid a roaring welcome from waiting fans, who lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the star-studded side. The state's Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, received the players at the airport. The entire team will participate in a victory celebration at the Chinnaswamy Stadium at 5 PM. The celebration will begin with the much-anticipated open-top bus parade from Vidhana Soudha to the stadium.
