It was history in the making as Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore lifted the IPL trophy last month after waiting for 18 years. In a video that has gone viral, the man of the moment ran straight to Anushka Sharma and could not control his tears and she gave him a tight hug.
Aamir Khan even called Kohli a perfectionist and said, 'In the present, I think Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah suit the same title.'
Kohli has now shared his thoughts and feelings as he lifted the IPL trophy for the first time in 18 years.
Virat Kohli expressed- 'This team made the dream possible , a season I'll never ever forget. We've thoroughly enjoyed the ride over the last 2.5 months.'
He added, 'This one is for the fans of rcb who never ever left our side in the worst of times. This one is for all the years of heartbreaks and disappointment.'
The former RCB captain continued, 'This is for every inch of effort left on the field playing for this team. As far as the ipl trophy is concerned- you've made me wait 18 years to be able to lift you and celebrate my friend, but it's been absolutely worth the wait.'

Credit, and contempt, for the paths to quick riches
A screenshot on the internet screamed, '41 crores! That's the net worth of a 23-year-old content creator'. Many on the internet lost it. They beat their breasts, posting their marksheets and entrance exam ranks, and their current in-hand salary, and claimed life is unfair. I wonder. Young people getting rich quick isn't new. Almost every new IPL player has a similar rags to five-tattoos-on-arm story. Hindi newspapers have been forever converting Day-0 dollar salaries to rupees to scare parents into packing their offspring off to Kota. A girl having poha in the college canteen being spotted by Subhash Ghai is not unheard of. So, why the commotion over influencers becoming famous and, subsequently, rich? Maybe this new path to wealth — earning money on the internet — is not yet culturally acceptable, hence the distaste among people. Several acceptable ways to make money have become Bollywood tropes. Going to school is just a brief and annoying interruption before you hop onto a plane to New York to study film-making, eventually to return and manage your family's spare-parts business in Karol Bagh. 'Vicky baba aaj hi vilayat se apni padhaai poori karke wapas laute hai (Vicky baba has returned home, after finishing his studies abroad),' an old caretaker helpfully tells the guests seated in the large living space. Clearly, Vicky baba's vilayati degree couldn't ensure employment, which is why he had to return. But nobody treats Vicky baba like a loser, he is ripe to be married off by converting dosti (friendship) to rishtedaari (relationship). A moviegoer in Muzaffarpur then aspires for this life. Another acceptable and respected way to get rich young is to study very hard, sacrifice friends, cable TV, smartphones, and get an All India Rank that doesn't look like a phone number. The number of hours studied is akin to currency. News-channels will ask you about the number of hours studied every day; smartness doesn't count, they just want to promptly report the number of hours, and a parent hearing that the topper studied 12 hours a day will use that benchmark to make their kid's life miserable. Here again, several movies have glorified the academic path. A scene with a person studying under a street lamp moves to the same chap jostling with scores of youngsters like him, gathered around a list stuck outside the Union Public Service Commission office, to find his name on it. Then he breaks down, uplifting music playing in the background. The academic path to wealth is the most common — the one that generates the least wealth at a young age and yet expects 70 hours of work a week. And still another is for ones who won the genetic lottery, blessed with such good looks that a film director spots them even as they are having paani puri on the street. Most such multi-million dollar careers kick off when a car stops at the roadside, a window rolls down, and an offer is made. Within a year or two, the paani puri eater is stepping out of a Land Rover, wearing oversized glasses, and making patronising small-talk with the paparazzi, while suffering from success. Very few in India begrudge such meteoric rise. It is, as they say, very acceptable. So, why are content creators judged so harshly? There is a concept in differential calculus, called the 'Local Maxima'. It relates to the highest point of a mathematical function in the immediate neighbourhood. When the internet was not there, those good at academics (local maxima) got accolades from relatives and neighbours for cracking a tough exam. The comparisons were local. And the relative superiority gave happiness. With the internet, the world became one's neighbourhood, and suddenly all the local maxima realised they aren't the global maxima. People their age were earning much more, while doing really, really less, and not necessarily studying 12 hours a day. It disturbed the local maximas' mental equations. Rags to riches stories, propelled by genetics and a bit of luck, always existed, but they were distant. With the internet, they are at your doorstep. The rise is swift, and every bit is recorded. 'My first two-wheeler' to 'first foreign trip with parents' to 'my first BMW', it is live-streaming large-scale hay production while the sun is shining. Then, Bollywood is yet to validate this new path, glamourise it and make a serious actor of repute play the role of a content creator, making the general public root for an influencer. Perhaps till then, influencers won't be immune to day-to-day jealousy, like Bollywood stars are. Barely any layperson would be jealous of Aishwarya Rai. She and her kind are in the stratosphere already. Influencers, however, operate somewhere in the middle, within range for people on the ground to take potshots. People like me, however, who aren't genetically chiseled or have the content creation chops, would do better to focus on differential calculus.

When the going gets tough, Siraj gets going
CHENNAI: A little into the third session on Day Three, Indian pacers had finally broken the Jamie Smith-Harry Brook partnership. It happened as soon as the second new ball came into play and, England, in quick time, were nine down with Mohammed Siraj taking a fifer — his first since the Cape Town Test in early 2024. Immediately after he took the wicket of Josh Tongue — his fifth of the innings — Siraj welcomed Shoaib Bashir with a brutal bouncer that hit the England spinner on the helmet. Just as Bashir was going through the concussion protocol, Siraj turned to Akash Deep, his fellow pacer, who had four wickets next to his name and was on the verge of his first Test fifer. "Unko meine ye bhi bhola ki 'char ball bacha hai, mein bahar dalun kya? (I even asked him 'four balls left, should I bowl wide, defensive lines?)," he would ask Akash Deep (as revealed in the video shared by BCCI) so that the Bengal pacer could get his name also on the honours board. Akash Deep would politely decline and Siraj captured his sixth and England's last wicket on the very next delivery. As he led the team off the field, with the ball in his hand, Siraj had recorded his second-best Test figures — 6/70 in 19.3 overs. That conversation and his performance on Friday, in many ways, summed up Siraj the leader and the person. An extremely skilful bowler who will run in all day for his team, Siraj had faced a fair bit of criticism over the last 12 months when it comes to red-ball cricket. First, the home series loss against New Zealand and then the lack of wickets in Australia meant Siraj was under immense pressure to step up when he arrived in England. Not just because he was not getting wickets, but also the fact that it had increased Jasprit Bumrah's workload. "If you want Bumrah to last longer for you in these five Tests, Siraj is one with a lot of experience right now under his belt. He's played in England too before and it's time that he puts his hands up and says, 'let me take the brunt of the bowling'. Experience is something which is extremely important. You may have all the skills but coupled with experience, you become that much better. And Siraj also having had prior exposure in England, he played those Tests where he bowled exceptionally well. I think if you can take that confidence with the kind of rhythm that he looked in the IPL, to me, he looks to come good in England," former India bowling coach and one of Siraj's long-time mentors, Bharat Arun, had told this daily before the series. However, questions over his form had only magnified after the loss in Headingley. But the thing about Siraj is that he brings out the best when backed up against the wall. In fact, that is how he rose to the top in the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. Barely two Tests old, Siraj led the Indian pace attack in Brisbane, took a fifer and helped them register a historic win. In the years that followed, every time when there was no senior pacer to step up in the XI, Siraj did, at least more often than not. His numbers, with and without Bumrah in the playing XI, highlights an interesting story. In the 23 Tests Siraj has played alongside Bumrah, he has taken 69 wickets at 33.82, including a fifer. Without Bumrah, when Siraj had to lead the pace attack, he has 39 wickets in 15 tests at 25.2 average and three fifers to show.
