Simply wow! It’s taken 18 seasons, and three swings at the grand finale for the celebrated cricket team from Bengaluru to lift the coveted IPL trophy! If this doesn’t scream success, patience and perseverance, nothing else will!
Having a legit legend (#VK18) within their ranks and with past legends like AB Devilliers and Chris Gayle on the sidelines cheering for success in the last mile, the champion team from Bengaluru made Ahmedabad feel like #NammaOoru.
While there can be only one winner at the summit clash, one tends to look at the team from Punjab with empathy; for they have done nothing wrong to find themselves as second-best this season. They had their moments in the final and were outranked by a fabled and intensely followed cricket team, who have saluted loyalty and freak performances with much aplomb and splendour.
Yes, the Bengaluru team have been part of the online meme-fest for years, yet boasts of a brilliant online fan-based family and offline support because of a star-studded lineup, brilliant records in the past, and their ability to attract crowds across the country and the world, whenever they play.
While some brilliant teams have taken their trophy home multiple times in the past, the team from Bengaluru have finally opened their silverware account, and this will bring pride to each fan and supporter of cricket-ainment, at its surreal best!
Congratulations to everyone who believed in the team, and words of praise for the management and the think tank. It’s safe to say, this trophy belongs to the people of Bengaluru who supported their team, year-after-year, no matter how the result panned out.
With a victory parade that is due to celebrate their maiden trophy, the Silicon Valley of India will be painted Red and Gold!
Played Bold, Played with a Great Heart, and Succeeded Like True Champions!
