There is no doubt that Virat Kohli started getting trolled even before the final result. It was something like what happened in the T20 World Cup final a year ago. Even then Virat had scored the most runs for India. But until India won, Virat's critics were very active in trolling him on social media. Hasty trolls kept showing again and again that they know more about cricket than Virat Kohli.

The final of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) was played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings on Tuesday. Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first on a batting-friendly pitch. A score of more than 200 was expected on this pitch but RCB could only score 190 runs. Virat Kohli scored the highest 43 runs for RCB but he was also trolled for his slow innings.

The Punjab Kings team started well while chasing the target. At one point, they had scored 72 runs for 1 wicket. But after this, the bowlers took wickets quickly and made RCB come back. In the end, Punjab Kings could only score 184 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. In this way, RCB won the match by 6 runs and ended the 18-year wait for the trophy.
