They say every great story has an ending. But in the case of Virat Kohli, the ending might just be the beginning of something eternal.
On a sparkling IPL final night, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally lifted their long-awaited first trophy, the narrative wasn't just about a franchise triumphing. It was about a man completing a journey.
Kohli has been the face, heart, and soul of RCB. He never changed cities, jerseys, or loyalties. As IPL transformed from a tournament into a global spectacle, Kohli stayed with RCB — often carrying the team on his shoulders, facing critics head-on, and chasing that elusive trophy like a dream.
Now, with the IPL crown finally his, the moment felt divine.
Yet, his post-match words sent a shiver down many spines:
"There is an end date to our career."
It's a line soaked in perspective. Kohli, who once symbolized raw aggression and unrelenting drive, now speaks with the grace of a man who has seen it all.
But don’t be mistaken. This isn’t retirement talk — not yet. It’s just a master acknowledging time, even as he continues to master it. Kohli remains one of the fittest and most consistent players in world cricket. His IPL form is untouched, his presence unmissable.
While others have faded — some quietly, others tearfully — Kohli’s brilliance still burns. And now that he’s an IPL champion, his hunger might only grow deeper. With Test cricket behind him and fewer international commitments ahead, IPL will become his primary stage — and the RCB jersey his final armor.
In an era where cricketers chase legacy through numbers and records, Kohli’s is carved through passion, presence, and perseverance.
This IPL title isn’t just a trophy. It’s closure. It’s redemption. It’s poetry in motion. And it belongs to Kohli — the king, the constant, and now, the champion.
