In a moment that blended passion for cricket with the sanctity of marriage, a video of a groom halting his wedding rituals to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lifting the IPL trophy after 18 years has taken the internet by storm. The viral clip captures the frenzy and emotional high experienced by RCB fans as their team finally clinched its maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title in 2025.
The now-famous video shows a groom, seated at the mandap in full traditional attire, glued to a phone screen as the final moments of the IPL 2025 finale unfolded. Just as the last wicket fell, confirming RCB’s historic victory, the groom leaps in joy, hands in the air, shouting and celebrating with guests who shared the same euphoria. The priest and bride, momentarily confused, pause the ceremony as the groom shouts, “RCB ne jeet liya!” (RCB has won!).
RCB defeated Rajasthan Royals in a nail-biting finale at Chepauk Stadium, with skipper Faf du Plessis lifting the long-awaited trophy alongside Virat Kohli, who played a stellar knock in what many believe to be his final IPL season.
The groom’s celebration has struck a chord with netizens, especially die-hard RCB fans who have waited nearly two decades for the team to end its title drought. Many social media users praised the groom’s dedication, jokingly calling him “husband of the year” for balancing the two most important commitments of his life on the same day.
Former RCB captain Virat Kohli even reacted to the clip, reposting it on his Instagram story with the caption: “RCB fans are something else. This is love!”

While some traditionalists raised eyebrows over the interruption of sacred nuptials, the majority embraced it as a symbol of unwavering fandom and unforgettable timing.
The incident perfectly encapsulates the madness of IPL in India—where cricket isn’t just a sport, but a religion, and sometimes, even weddings can wait.
