Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has said that winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for Royal Challengers Bangalore was the best moment of his playing life. Bengaluru won the title by defeating Punjab Kings in the final on Tuesday.
Bengaluru clinched this title when the 18th edition of the IPL arrived. Kohli has played his entire playing life for Bengaluru and said that he gave the most important and youthful time of his life for this team. The 36-year-old Kohli also termed the victory in Ahmedabad as sweet.
Kohli, the former captain of the Indian team, retired from Test cricket only last month. He has already retired from Twenty20 cricket. In the final, Bengaluru batted first and scored 190 runs for nine wickets, and Kohli contributed the most with 43 runs.
'I have given my all for this Bengaluru team . I didn't think I would win today . After the last ball of the match, I couldn't contain my emotions. All these moments have been really great for me,' he said. At the same time, Kohli also asked to give more importance to Test cricket.

He said, 'If any player wants to make a name for himself in world cricket, Test cricket should be given the most importance.'
Bengaluru has won the IPL title by playing the final for the fourth time. Kohli also said that the moment of defeat in the previous three finals was very painful.
