"Patience Zaroori Hai": Delhi Police's Viral Post After RCB Wins IPL After 18 Years
When Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) took to the field in a packed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the final game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, cricket fans knew one thing - they were going to get a new and first-time champion. In the 18th edition of cricket's marquee league, it was India's number 18 who finally added the missing feather to his cap. Virat Kohli, the former RCB captain who persisted with the franchise for 18 years despite all the highs and lows, lifted the only trophy that eluded him for nearly two decades. Celebrating RCB's win, the Delhi Police shared a post to draw home a point about being patient and not driving before you turn 18. " Virat jeet ke liye Patience zaroori hai! (You have to be patient for a huge win)," the Delhi Police wrote. The post also carried a note to people who insist on driving a car or riding a bike before turning 18. "See, they waited for 18 years and you're already insisting your parents let you drive or ride," the note read. ???? #Virat jeet ke liye Patience zaroori hai! @iplt20 @RCBTweets @imVkohli #RCBvsPBKS #iplfinal2025 #IPLFinals #IPL #IPL2025 #EeCupnamde — Delhi Police (@DelhiPolice) June 3, 2025 Reacting to the post, a father wrote: "Lovely.

Right tweet at right time ???? well done @DelhiPolice — Anuj Jangid (@iAnujJangid) June 3, 2025 Coming back to the game, RCB, batting first, were off to a flying start, courtesy of Phil Salt and Virat Kohli. After Salt's dismissal, Kohli and Mayank Agrawal steadied the RCB innings. With contributions from Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, and Jitesh Sharma, RCB set a target of 191. While chasing, PBKS, for the most part, stayed in the game despite losing wickets at regular intervals. However, it was Krunal Pandya's magical spell of 2-17 in four hours that turned the tie in RCB's favour. Apart from Pandya, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yash Dayal also bowled well towards the end of the innings to secure the maiden title for their side. Shashank Singh's brilliant unbeaten 30-ball 61 brought PBKS close to the target but not close enough. He hit Hazelwood for three sixes and a four in the last over, but the team fell short by six runs. And it was Bengaluru and Virat Kohli's night to celebrate.

"Punjab Kings Opt To Bat": Ravi Shastri's Massive Brain Fade Moment At IPL 2025 Final Toss
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri had a massive brainfade moment ahead of the IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). In what is a repeat of Qualifier 1, PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl against RCB at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, Shastri made a huge blunder at toss, suggesting that PBKS won the toss and opted to bat. He was quick to apologise for his mistake before correcting himself by confirming that Shreyas opted to bowl. Be like Ravi Shastri #IPLFinals #PBKSvsRCB #RCBvPBKS #iplfinal2025 #ravishastri — (@ujellybru) June 3, 2025 "I want to give positive signs to my mind and body. I feel it's an amazing day, here at the moment. Crowd here is electrifying, just want to cherish. Boys in a brilliant mindset. All we talked in the meeting was about how keeping calm gives the best results. That's been the message throughout. We hope to embrace the occasion. I'm absolutely fine. I want to say it's just another game, but it's a final, we're gonna play it like a final. It's going to be a tremendous feeling, just thinking about lifting the trophy. Already envisioned it, all in the mind right now. Want to go out and execute to the best of our abilities," Shryeas said at the toss. "We also wanted to bowl. Surface looks hard. Will try to put on a good total. Till now we've played well, it's just another game for us. We'll give it our best. It's a big stage but it's just another away game for us. Everyone's played well till now, will try to do the same now. Same team. Looks a good pitch, flat, mix of red and black soil. Should be good to bat," RCB captain Rajat Patidar added. There were no changes to side. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Starting XI: Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarawal, Rajat Patidar(c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (w), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood
