"The slow knock too didn't hurt the team in the end"- Aakash Chopra on Virat Kohli's knock in RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 final

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra analyzed RCB's batting performance in the IPL 2025 final in a video on his YouTube channel. He opined that Kohli's slow knock of 43 (35) did not hurt the team as they eventually went on to lift the trophy.

"The slow knock too didn't hurt the team in the end, because what matters is how it ended. It ended with a trophy and tears in your eyes. It might have ended with a lot of gratitude, that god has been very, very kind. He himself admitted that he never thought this would happen, because when you are heartbroken so many times, you feel it won't happen at all," Aakash Chopra said.

He continued:

"I always call Virat the destiny's child. He might not have scored runs in the entire tournament, but he comes to the final, becomes the Player of the Match, and wins that World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024). If it's a World Cup match against Pakistan, it brings the best out of him. All things happen in such a way that Virat Kohli is always there. Sometimes, it's in your destiny, and that's exactly what happened."
