04 June,2025 08:32 PM IST | Sujay ShivalkarAfter 18 years of grit, heartbreak, and relentless hustle, RCB finally lifted the IPL trophy—and fans echoed, “We dared to dream, and we lived it.” But amid the roars, one moment stood still: Virat Kohli breaking down, burying his face in Anushka Sharma’s shoulder.

No. This is the blueprint
