The IPL 2025 final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, will be etched in cricket history forever as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their first IPL title following an agonizing 18-year wait. The video recording these moments is an ode to the raw emotion, unrelenting determination, and pure elation that characterized RCB's journey to victory. More than 90,000 supporters, clad in red and blue, created an electric ambiance, their "AB, AB" chants paying tribute to the great AB de Villiers, who, along with Chris Gayle, had travelled to support his former side. The two-minute recap of the evening showed Virat Kohli, the heartbeat of RCB, experience a range of emotions—from the tension he was holding throughout the match to the unrestrained delirium as the game was finally over and the victory was complete. His interactions with teammates, the cacophony of cheers from the crowd, and the sheer joy of the team as a whole all come to life in this moment and are worth a watch from anyone who considers themselves a cricket fan.

Having former players like de Villiers and Gayle in attendance just added another level of nostalgia and meaning to the spectacle. Their presence from the stands served as a reminder of RCB's greatness, their many near misses, and the history RCB has built together as a team and as a family over the years. The video exhibited these legends cheering along with the current team, which reminded us all of how the heart of the RCB remained the same and showed a triumph of RCB's present duality of existence. The atmosphere in the stadium, created by the fans' unshakeable faith, morphed into a celebration of existence and survival, as RCB finally had the trophy to represent years of hopes and dreams cultivated by a city and its team.
