"It's a massive moment in his career" - Cheteshwar Pujara on Virat Kohli winning IPL 2025 with RCB

During a recent discussion on Star Sports, Cheteshwar Pujara opined that winning the IPL trophy was a massive moment for Virat Kohli, who was visibly emotional after the triumph. The veteran batter felt that Kohli's passionate and touching reaction showed the importance of the victory for him.

"It's a massive moment in his career. He has achieved a lot in his career, but the one thing he couldn't achieve in his career for so many years was an IPL title. It shows how much it mattered to him because he was working hard to win this title for many years. He was looking very emotional and the tears coming from his eyes show the importance of an IPL title for a cricketer," Pujara said.

He continued:

"It's not easy, but the good part about Virat is that he is one of the fittest cricketers, and he is open to adapting to a new challenge or something different. He is always open to learning new things."
