Goa, June 4 -- Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made history on Tuesday night, clinching their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title after a dramatic 6-run victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) in front of 91,419 ecstatic fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

This long-awaited moment came after years of heartbreak - runners-up in 2009, 2011, and 2016 - and an emotional rollercoaster for players and fans alike. Virat Kohli, RCB's enduring talisman, was seen shedding tears of joy as Josh Hazlewood held his nerve in the final over, defending 29 runs to secure the win.
