Speaking on the same, star India women’s cricketer Sneh Rana took centre stage and reflected on Kohli’s reaction after the IPL win.
"I also got goosebumps and I was emotional. Virat Kohli is that player who has set a very big example for everyone. Not just for Indians but all over the world. He was working hard for a long time. The loyalty that he has shown for RCB, 17 years is a long time, and when that final over was going on, he started crying. It was seen how full he was and the hunger he had to lift that trophy, and the hard work of so many years paid off. It was seen in the emotions," Sneh Rana told Filmygyaan.
