Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans are wildly celebrating their remarkable trophy win from last night. This is the first time in 18 years of IPL that RCB has won the IPL trophy, and this is a moment of joy and pride for their loyal fans who had been with them through thick and thin.
While RCB fans are fully deserving of this remarkable victory, there is something to ponder upon for Virat Kohli at a personal level as a batsman for the side.

While other batsmen were showing a lot of intent to get quick run in the big finale, this poor performance from Kohli almost ended up costing the team. If Jitesh Sharma had not come out with such intent and scored the quick runs, things could have gone horribly wrong for RCB.
