IPL 2025 Final: Wedding Ceremony Paused At Kalaburagi, Karnataka To Celebrate RCB's Historic Title Victory; Watch Video

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) creating history by winning IPL 2025, a wedding ceremony was paused in Kalaburagi, Karnataka to celebrate the decorated franchise's title victory. A video of the same surfaced on social media when the victory moment beckoned and Virat Kohli got emotional, provoking celebrations from everyone at the wedding venue.

The Royal Challengers finished with what seemed like a below-par score of 190 in their stipulated 20 overs as Virat Kohli top-scored with 43 off 35 deliveries. Although the Punjab Kings had given themselves more than a promising start, the middle overs derailed them and eventually they fell six runs short of the target. Krunal Pandya earned the Player of the Match award for his outstanding figures of 4-0-17-2.

"Never thought this day would come" - Virat Kohli

Speaking to Matthew Hayden after the game, Virat Kohli, who has played for RCB since its inception, said it belongs to the fans as much as anyone and said he wishes to celebrate it with AB de Villiers.

This win is as much for the fans as it is for the team. It's been 18 long years. I've given this team my youth, prime and experience. I've tried to win it every season, gave it everything I have. To finally have it is an unbelievable feeling. Never thought this day would come, I was overcome with emotion after the last ball was bowled. Gave each and every ounce of my energy and it's an amazing feeling. What ABD has done for the franchise is tremendous, told him 'this win is as much yours as it is ours. I want you to celebrate with us'"
