# Cricket: Virat Kohli said it was as much for the fans after he finally won the IPL at his 18th attempt, with Bengaluru’s ecstatic supporters preparing to welcome home their hero at a victory parade. Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Punjab Kings by six runs in a roller-coaster IPL final yesterday. The 36-year-old Kohli, the only man to have played all 18 years for the same IPL team, fittingly top-scored with 43. South Africa’s retired batting king AB de Villiers also attended the final. He played for Bengaluru alongside Kohli for a decade.
