VIDEO: RCB cut the final ticket, Virat Kohli promised Anushka in a gesture, ‘Just one more victory is left’
Royal Challengers Bangalore made it to the final of IPL 2025 by defeating Punjab Kings in the first qualifier. After the victory, a special moment between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma is in discussion, when Virat promised to win the trophy by saying ‘One More to Go’.
The first qualifier of IPL 2025 was completely named RCB. In this match played in Mullanpur on Thursday, RCB, captained by Rajat Patidar, defeated Punjab Kings by 8 wickets and entered the final. After winning the toss first, he chose bowling and then wreaked havoc with the ball that the entire team of PBKS was reduced to just 101 runs.
Punjab started very poorly. In the powerplay itself, 4 wickets fell and by 60 runs, seven batsmen had returned to the pavilion. Only Marcus Stoyanis could cross the 20 -run mark. On the other hand, Josh Hazelwood and Suyash Sharma did wonders with 3-3 wickets from RCB.
In response, RCB chased the target in just 10 overs. Phil Soult hit an unbeaten 56 runs off just 27 balls. After the victory, there was an atmosphere of celebration in the dugout and during this time Virat Kohli’s gesture for Anushka Sharma was on social media.
Virat, while watching Anushka sitting in the stands, picked up a finger and indicated ‘One More to Go’, that is, now just one win and to win the trophy. This will be RCB’s first final after 2016. Earlier, the team has played the final three times, but could not win the title yet.
