RCB star Virat Kohli was so eager to celebrate with the women’s team of the franchise following their historic WPL 2024 title win—he even video called captain Smriti Mandhana to make it happen—that he was not at the stadium. Pics of Virat talking to Smriti went viral as soon as the Delhi Capitals women’s team lost the final by eight wickets to RCB-W. But late at night, the WPL released a video showing players joyfully dancing while Virat is virtually present via the video call.
Watch the amazing celebration that RCB Women had with Virat Kohli below:
Being the first title the team has won since its founding in 2008, RCB players must have celebrated all night. Throughout the IPL and WPL, RCB has had more bad days than good ones, but the team is at least one trophy richer because of the bravery of the women’s team.
A noteworthy RCB fact needs to be mentioned as well. Not only are they one of the most watched teams in the IPL, but also in other leagues, despite their lack of trophy wins. Their devoted fan base is unbounded. The craze for AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli has grown this enormous fan base. The fact that their men’s team consistently fails and loses to RCB causes social media to explode with memes is true, but it also says something about the franchise’s popularity. Discussing the Royal Challengers, whether they win or lose, is impossible on social media or in the real world.
Kohli is aware that the men’s team is under even more pressure following their historic victory on Sunday night, even though he can still enjoy the women’s team’s victory. When they take on MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 22 in the 2024 Indian Premier League, RCB’s Men—who haven’t won a trophy in 16 years—hope to the infamous title. The responsibility to get the team to the final or beyond will fall on Kohli, captain Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik, and other experienced pros. The women’s team’s accomplishments should help them triumph through the difficult times ahead.
