After an 18-year wait, RCB finally brings the trophy home, and fans across the country couldn’t hold back their joy. Here’s how they reacted.
Cricket in India has always been more than just a sport as it stands as a sentiment that unites people across regions, languages, and generations, and last night's IPL final was a perfect reminder of that as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and its loyal fans finally got their moment of celebration after years of waiting. After facing numerous heartbreaks and close calls for almost two decades, RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, defeated Punjab Kings, captained by Shreyas Iyer, by 6 runs in a thrilling contest at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, lighting up the millions of fans across the country with joy and disbelief.
This victory marked the end of an 18-year wait that had become an emotional moment for both players and supporters, especially for Virat Kohli, the former captain and the soul of the team. As expected, emotional edits and snippets from the match quickly went viral on social media, just like the overwhelming urge to celebrate that fans had been holding onto for all these years. As people danced in the streets, waved flags, and cheered with happy tears, it was clear that the love Indians have for cricket is unmatched. While they celebrated on the ground, they also turned to social media to share their joy by posting videos and heartfelt messages.
