Following years of near misses, Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally clinched their first IPL title in 2025, defeating Punjab Kings in a thrilling final.

Fans expressed their sympathy for Preity Zinta, whose reaction went viral. One fan wrote, "She deserves the happiness and the win too," another said, "Her team was more deserving," and a third commented, "Better luck next time."

The 2025 IPL victory by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), led by Rajat Patidar, will be etched in history, ending an 18-year wait for the trophy. The match was a high-stakes event, with both teams eager to prove themselves.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru set a challenging total of 190/9 in their 20 overs against Punjab Kings after being put in to bat. Virat Kohli top-scored for RCB with a composed 43 off 35 balls. This was their fourth meeting this season, with RCB winning two previous matches, including Qualifier 1, and Punjab winning once in the league stage.

Preity Zinta, co-owner of Punjab Kings since 2008, is a beloved figure in the IPL due to her passionate support, regular stadium presence, and emotional connection with the players. Additionally, she is preparing for her return to the big screen with Lahore 1947, ending her acting hiatus.
