Ahmedabad: After an 18-year-long wait filled with heartbreak and near-misses, Virat Kohli finally lifted the Indian Premier League trophy as Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their maiden title with a thrilling six-run win over Punjab Kings in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Tuesday. Kohli, who scored 43 off 35 balls in the final, was overcome with emotion as the moment he had chased for nearly two decades finally became reality. “This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team. I’ve given this franchise my youth, my prime, and all my experience. I tried to win it every season, and gave it everything I had. Honestly, I never thought this day would come. I was overcome with emotion when we won,” Kohli said in a post-match interview. (IANS)
