Despite suffering countless heartaches, virat kohli side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has been dedicated to winning the IPL title since 2008. On June 3, 2025, they won their maiden trophy. With a six-run victory over Punjab Kings, RCB achieved a royal triumph. This victory meant a lot to Virat Kohli and the rest of the team. As RCB raised the trophy in the air, he sobbed uncontrollably and gave his wife, Anushka, a big hug. His first TV interview, in which he was seen analyzing India’s 2007 World Cup plans, went viral as RCB supporters rejoiced over Virat and the team’s victory.

From an early age, Virat had established himself in the domestic cricket circuit in New Delhi. In November 2006, he made his Ranji match debut for Delhi against Tamil Nadu at the age of 18. In an interview that went viral, the cricket player was spotted sitting with Puneet Bisht, his teammate at the time, and conversing with Amit Bhatia.

In addition to praising the Indian cricket team’s talent, Kohli shared: “Indian team bahut hi talented hai, I think. Batting line toh world mei best mana jaata hai on paper, but I think but matter yeh karega kaisa woh field pe perform karte hai. Balling line kafi achi hai, naye ballers hai, naya talent. Jaise Munaf, Zaheer, Sreesanth young hai aur bahut experience mil chuka hai etna toh kafi chances hai India ko jeetne ka.

When asked if the Indian squad was balanced in terms of bowling and batting, the then-teenage Kohli shared his thoughts on how the cricket team will perform under Rahul Dravid’s direction. When head selector Dilip Vengsarkar said that Virender Sehwag was chosen because then-captain Rahul Dravid insisted, there was a raging debate surrounding his selection.

Kohli revealed: “Ji balance toh Indian team ka bana hai esliye toh bowling batting ko dhyan mei rakhte huei hi team leke gaye hai. Matter yeh karega ki kaise field pe gel up karte hai aur as aunit perform karte hai. Mei toh manta hu Dravid ke part mei theek tha kyuki World Cup is a big tournament aur waha aapko experience chahiye. You can’t count on youth that much. Mere hisab se theek decision hai kyuki woh bahut experienced hai aur bahut run bana chuke hai India ke liye.

Virat Kohli:

On the day of his father’s death, Virat had played for Delhi against Karnataka. He proceeded to score 90 runs, and no one can display the maturity as a young Kohli displayed at that time on a daily basis. As the face of the Indian cricket team, Virat has been with Royal Challengers Bangalore since 2008. An 18-year-old Kohli was questioned if it matters if cricket players spend their free time modeling, doing advertisements, and earning money rather than focusing on the game.
