A trophy, a triumph, and a love story: Kohli¡¯s tribute to Anushka melts the internet
On June 4, as the team prepared to meet Karnataka¡¯s Chief Minister at Vidhan Soudha for their official felicitation, Virat took a moment to honour his wife in the most Kohli way possible: with raw honesty, pride, and love. In a now-viral Instagram post, the cricketer shared a candid image from the victory celebrations, featuring Anushka cheering him on.

Alongside the photo, Kohli reflected on their journey together. He noted that while he had witnessed RCB¡¯s rollercoaster for 18 years, Anushka had lived through it for 11 ¡ª suffering heartbreaks and celebrating high-stakes wins side by side. Kohli called her a ¡°Bangalore girl¡± at heart and said this victory was just as much hers as it was his.

Just moments after RCB¡¯s climactic win against Punjab Kings, Kohli made another emotional nod to Anushka in a post-match interaction. When asked about her reaction, he opened up about her constant presence through both highs and crushing lows. He explained that Anushka, like any cricketer¡¯s partner, had endured every mental battle right alongside him.

He said her emotional strength, sacrifice, and support were things words could barely express, and it is her belief that kept him grounded through the storms.
IPL 2025
RCB¡¯s IPL 2025 win will be remembered for decades, but what fans will carry just as dearly is this love story laced in cricket. For Kohli and Anushka, it was never just a game. It was 11 years of faith, fire, and unwavering partnership, now sealed with a trophy.
