“Kohli’s IPL 2025 Triumph with RCB Is a Huge Milestone”- Pujara

In a recent conversation on Star Sports, Cheteshwar Pujara remarked that securing the IPL title was a significant milestone for Virat Kohli, who appeared deeply emotional after the win. The seasoned cricketer noted that Kohli’s heartfelt reaction reflected just how much the victory meant to him.

“It’s a massive moment in his career. He has achieved a lot in his career, but the one thing he couldn’t achieve in his career for so many years was an IPL title. It shows how much it mattered to him because he was working hard to win this title for many years. He was looking very emotional and the tears coming from his eyes show the importance of an IPL title for a cricketer,” Pujara said.

He further continued:

“It’s not easy, but the good part about Virat is that he is one of the fittest cricketers, and he is open to adapting to a new challenge or something different. He is always open to learning new things.”
