Virat Kohli finally lifted the IPL title as No. 18 met its destiny on the 18th year of the Indian Premier League. After the final, he addressed the IPL's "Impact Player" rule.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli asserted that he doesn't wish to play as an impact player and wishes to affect the game with his fielding. As a result, netizens wondered if the right-handed batter had taken an indirect dig at Rohit Sharma.
