Jersey Number 18 Tastes Maiden Silverware After 18 Years Of IPL

Virat Kohli finally realises his dream of being an IPL champion, after a period of 18 years.

The legendary number 18 always remained loyal to RCB, and till date is the only cricketer to remain with the same franchise since the inception of the league.

There are few players who have sticked to just one IPL side, but none of them have appeared in every IPL season till now except Virat Kohli. Truly unreal longevity and loyalty combined together.

A young batter from Delhi, who gave all of his prime years to the franchise alongside the likes of Chris Gayle and Ab De Villiers, failed to win the trophy alongside them.

These are not the tears of grief or sorrow, but tears of joy and relief, as after 17 years of heartbreaks and near-misses, Virat Kohli is finally an IPL winner, and with that, the Indian legend completes a full circle of his storied career. (All Images Credit: @X/RCBTweets).
