Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s title celebrations are still in full swing after the franchise secured its IPL crown again in 2026. Carrying forward the confidence from their maiden triumph in 2025, RCB finished top of the points table and then stepped up when it mattered most\u2014beating Gujarat Titans by five wickets in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to successfully defend the trophy. Since the win, a steady stream of videos and photographs has been doing the rounds online, highlighting the joy of players including Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Rajat Patidar and the rest of the squad.<\/p>\n
One of the most talked-about moments came when Virat Kohli shared a video on his Instagram story from the team\u2019s post-match success bash. In the clip, Kohli is seen dancing with RCB pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The two perform the \u201cKikli\u201d step on the dance floor, turning a celebratory night into an instant social media sensation.<\/p>\n
For viewers unfamiliar with the move, the \u201cKikli\u201d is a well-known Punjabi folk dance in which two people grip each other\u2019s hands tightly while spinning rapidly in a circle. The quick spread of Kohli and Bhuvneshwar\u2019s version left fans genuinely thrilled, with many reacting to the energy and spontaneity shown during the celebrations.<\/p>\n
This was not the first time Kohli\u2019s dancing during an RCB title celebration grabbed attention. Earlier, he was also spotted sharing the spotlight on the dance floor with his wife, Anushka Sharma, as the couple marked the team\u2019s success. Together with the latest \u201cKikli\u201d clip, the images and videos underline how the celebrations have stayed lively beyond the trophy presentation.<\/p>\n
Kohli\u2019s on-field contribution remains central to RCB\u2019s run, with his unbeaten 75 serving as a foundation for the franchise\u2019s second IPL title. After the trophy win, Kohli spoke at the post-match presentation ceremony, reflecting on how the moment had been building in his mind.<\/p>\n
When asked about his 25-ball half-century, Kohli offered a candid response that mixed humour with a serious undertone. He pointed out how \u201csuper young players\u201d are raising the standards and pushing established batters to keep improving\u2014adding that the demand from the next generation never lets senior players stay comfortable.<\/p>\n
