Emotional Virat Kohli hugs AB de Villiers as Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Punjab Kings by six runs to win their maiden IPL title. Later, Virat shared de Villiers' impact in the RCB team and wants him to be in the podium when RCB lift the trophy.

When RCB defeated PBKS in the Qualifier, it guaranteed another important feat and that was the arrival of RCB Hall of Famer, AB de Villiers in India for the grand finale. The South African hard-hitter had said before on his YouTube channel that he was going to be at the stadium if RCB made it to the summit clash, and he kept his word.
