The seventeenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) continues to capture hearts, not only with its thought-provoking questions but also with the emotional and inspiring moments shared by host Amitabh Bachchan. The latest episode saw the legendary actor open up about one of Indian cricket’s most memorable moments — Virat Kohli’s long-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
It all began when Big B posed a cricket-related question to a contestant: “In 2025, who became the first batter to score 9000 runs for a single franchise in his career?” The contestant confidently answered with Virat Kohli, which turned out to be correct. This set the stage for an emotional reflection from the megastar.
Speaking with warmth, Amitabh Bachchan said, “Virat Kohli apne career me sirf RCB ke liye khele hain aur ye kabhi jeet nahi paaye the. Wo drishya dekha hoga aapne jab wo jeete the. Itna bhaavuk ho jata hai insaan, itna bada cricketer! Vishwbhar me jiska naam ho! Vijay jab praapt hoti hai na itne saalon ki mehnat ke baad, tab, thoda sa aadmi hil jaata hai.”
(Translation: Virat Kohli has played his entire career for RCB and had never won before. You must have seen the moment when they won. A person becomes so emotional, such a great cricketer! One whose name is known all over the world! When victory comes after so many years of hard work, it shakes a man a little.)
The moment highlighted Kohli’s extraordinary journey, a tale of loyalty, resilience, and unyielding belief. Having represented RCB since his debut, Kohli had faced years of near misses, heartbreaks, and criticism for the team’s inability to lift the coveted IPL trophy. But in 2025, all the perseverance and dedication finally bore fruit, and the raw emotions on his face after the victory resonated with millions of fans worldwide.
Big B’s words struck a chord on social media, with fans celebrating both Kohli’s achievement and Amitabh’s heartfelt acknowledgment. One user wrote, “The greatest batsman ever to grace this game,” while another commented, “Amitabh Bachchan on Virat Kohli’s first IPL trophy win. This is what Kohli has earned.”
For Kohli’s supporters, the triumph was not just about winning a trophy — it was about witnessing years of commitment, loyalty, and passion finally rewarded. And when Amitabh Bachchan, a living legend himself, recognized that journey with such moving words, it only added to the moment’s timeless significance.
