‘Thank You Premanand Maharaj Ji’ Netizens Credit Guruji For Virat Kohli, RCB’s IPL 2025 Win

RCB fans finally got the moment they had been waiting for. After 18 long seasons of heartbreak, Royal Challengers Bangalore lifted their first-ever IPL trophy in 2025. While the win brought tears and cheers, it also triggered a wave of spiritual chatter online.

As Virat Kohli hugged Anushka Sharma with teary eyes on the field, fans flooded social media, crediting spiritual leader Premanand Ji Maharaj for the big win. But not everyone agreed with the theory.

Virat Kohli And RCB’s IPL 2025 Win Gets Mixed Reactions Online

Over the years, Virat Kohli has often turned to faith. From visiting Neem Karoli Baba to praying at Hanuman temples, he finds peace in spirituality. This season, his visit to Premanand Ji Maharaj in Vrindavan caught fans’ attention.

Kohli and Anushka made this visit just a day after he announced his retirement from Test cricket. Fans are calling it a miracle because Virat had never won an IPL title before.

Photojournalist Viral Bhayani shared a post and wrote, “Premanand Ji Maharaj ke aashirvad Virat Kohli ko fal gaye.”

Reacting to the post, one user wrote, “Thank you Premanand Maharaj Ji, your Kohli won.” Another wrote, “Ab fir se bhai jayega Vrindavan Premanand Maharaj ji ke paas. Radhe Radhe.”

A third comment read, “If the blessing was so active, India would've won the World Cup too.” One user even quipped, “Yeh phal 18 saal tak kyun kaam nahi kiya?”

Kohli’s Loyalty And RCB’s Long-Awaited Glory

Regardless of the spiritual talk, Kohli delivered big this season. He scored over 500 runs, including seven fifties, across 11 games. In the final, he played a crucial knock of 43 runs in 35 balls, laying the foundation for RCB’s total of 190.

It wasn’t a one-man show, though. The top order worked as a unit, and RCB's bowlers did the rest. They held off Punjab Kings (captained by Shreyas Iyer) by just six runs.

This win meant more than just a title as it was a reward for 18 years of belief, both for Virat and for every fan who stuck by the team in every low.
