Virat Kohli shares sweet note for ‘Bengaluru girl’ Anushka Sharma after celebration: ‘Suffered the same moments’

Anushka Sharma stood by Virat Kohli every time his team at IPL couldn't bring back the winning trophy even after reaching the finals. It changed for the first time on Tuesday when Royal Challengers Bengaluru won big at IPL 2025 finals against Punjab Kings. After running to give a big hug her husband Virat following the historic win post finals, the couple has now returned to Bengaluru for a felicitation ceremony.

Virat Kohli pens sweet note for Anushka

Virat took to Instagram and wrote, “I’ve seen it for 18 years and she’s seen it for 11. Suffered the same moments since 2014 and celebrated every close win and the madness of our supporters at the Chinnaswamy. We’re both equally relieved and since shes a bangalore girl too this is far more special for her. Together all the way through @anushkasharma.”

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli return to Bengaluru

On Wednesday, Anushka treated fans to the first glimpse of Virat Kohli with the golden IPL Trophy. Beaming with joy, Kohli held the trophy close as the team made their way to the event venue in a bus.

The highlight of the video was also the RCB fans who took to the streets of the city in celebration.

Police have been deployed at multiple locations in Bengaluru.

Sharing the heartwarming video, Anushka simply wrote, “Namma Bengaluru current scenes.” She also added a praying hands emoji alongside A. R. Rahman and Sid Sriram's song in the background.

No victory parade for RCB

Previously, the Bengaluru Traffic Police shared that there will be no victory for the team in the city on Wednesday. Instead, a grand felicitation ceremony will be held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium from 5 PM to 6 PM. 

Authorities urged the public to avoid roads near Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium between 3 PM and 8 PM due to expected traffic congestion.

The felicitation ceremony will be hosted by the Karnataka government.

The Home Minister G Parameshwara confirmed the update and asserted that there will be no such procession (victory parade) due to security reasons, as per PTI.

“The team will come to Vidhana Soudha in a bus and will go to the cricket stadium in a bus after the felicitation. There will not be any procession in an open vehicle, Karnataka State Cricket Academy (KSCA) has said no to it considering security. Once the CM felicitates the team one or two may speak on behalf of the team, other than that there won't be anything. In the stadium, KSCA have their programme. All kinds of security and traffic arrangements have been made,” he said.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will honour the Rajat Patidar-led squad on the steps of the iconic Vidhana Soudha, the seat of state legislature and secretariat here. “I congratulate all the RCB team members, I also congratulate their fans. The whole country and the state is proud of them, RCB has never won the IPL, this is the eighteenth season and they have won and it has made me immensely happy,” Siddaramaiah said.
