After 18 long years of heartbreak and near misses, Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally etched their name in history by lifting their maiden IPL trophy in 2025. Their six-run win over Punjab Kings in a nerve-wracking final was the culmination of years of passion, perseverance, and promise.
And amidst the jubilant celebrations, one moment that truly captured the spirit of the occasion was Virat Kohli’s banter-filled interaction with RCB Insider Mr. Nags, played by Danish Sait. Known for their iconic chemistry over the years, Kohli and Nags have often left fans in splits with their humorous exchanges.

But this time, with the long-awaited trophy finally in hand, Virat Kohli took a mock-serious tone. In a video that instantly went viral, he jokingly told Nags, “Come, enough now. No more jokes. I think this is officially the end… You being here doesn’t do anything to the viewership.” The tongue-in-cheek farewell was classic Kohli — mixing emotion with humour, all while basking in the glow of a hard-earned victory.

Mr. Nags has been a beloved part of RCB’s digital presence since 2015, bringing light-hearted moments to the pressure-packed world of IPL. But even he couldn’t escape Kohli’s playful roast on what was arguably the most important night in the franchise’s history.

On a more heartfelt note, Kohli, who scored a vital 43 in the final, was visibly emotional during the post-match celebrations. Recalling the moment when Josh Hazlewood bowled a dot ball to seal the win, Kohli said, “I was completely gone emotionally. These boys — their hunger, their motivation — was incredible. They kept saying they wanted to hand me the trophy. It was a dream campaign. Everyone stepped up — true match-winners all around. I’m just proud to be part of this journey.”
It was a perfect end to a long, emotional chapter — and a beginning of a new legacy for RCB.
