Siddharth Mallya, son of former RCB owner Vijay Mallya, was overcome with emotion as Royal Challengers Bangalore clinched their first IPL title after a 17-year wait. Living in the US and working as an actor and model, Mallya shared a video on his Instagram, showing his raw reaction to the historic win. As RCB secured a six-run victory over Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 final, Mallya was seen on his knees, hands raised in disbelief and joy, before breaking down in tears.
Lalit Modi, a founding member of the IPL, congratulated Mallya on the win, emphasizing the significance of the moment. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, the longest-serving one-franchise player in IPL history, also shed tears of joy after the final wicket fell.
Vijay Mallya, who had the privilege of picking Kohli at the 2008 auction, expressed his thoughts online, reflecting on the journey that led to this victory. The RCB team is set to return to Bengaluru for a victory parade, with Kohli’s next appearance likely to be on August 17 in a match against Bangladesh. This win marked a moment of closure for the Mallya family and RCB fans who have supported the team through highs and lows.
