Virat Kohli ne ek baar phir apna dil khol diya, is baar Father’s Day ke mauke par. Social media pe ek bada sa message daal diya, duniya bhar ke fathers ko wish karte hue. Arre, waah bhai waah, kitna pyaar baant rahe ho, Virat! Lagta hai IPL 2025 ka khitab jeetne ke baad dil khush hai, toh sabko thodi si khushi baantne ka mood ban gaya. Par zara theek se dekho toh, yeh bhi toh ek tareeka hai apne fans ko khush rakhne ka, hai na? Aakhir, RCB ke saath 18 saal ka lamba intezaar khatam kiya, toh thodi si PR bhi toh banta hai!
Par sach baat toh yeh hai ki Virat ka yeh Father’s Day wala message dil se dil tak jaata hai. Ek aisa insaan jo khud ek baap hai, apne bete Akaay ke saath waqt bitata hai, woh jaanta hai ki pitaji hone ka matlab kya hota hai. X pe ek post mein Virat ne likha, “Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, you’re the real heroes for your kids.” Aur yeh baat dil ko chhoo gayi. Fans ne bhi iska bharpoor swagat kiya. Ek user ne toh likha, “King Kohli, dil jeet liya bhai, on and off the field!”. Yeh baat sahi hai, kyunki Virat ka yeh andaaz humesha se alag raha hai – chahe woh maidaan pe ho ya uske baahar.
Ab zara baat karte hain us bade kaarnaame ki, jiske baad yeh saari khushi ka mahaul bana. IPL 2025 ka final, jahan RCB ne Punjab Kings ko 6 runs se hara kar apna pehla khitab jeeta. 18 saal ka lamba safar, har saal “Ee Sala Cup Namde” ka naara, aur har baar haathon mein sirf niraasha. Par is baar, Rajat Patidar ki captaincy aur Andy Flower ke coaching ne kamaal kar diya. Virat ne khud 43 runs banaye, jo shayad unke sabse bade scores mein se ek nahi tha, par us din unka yeh contribution kaafi tha. Bhuvneshwar Kumar aur Krunal Pandya ne apni bowling se PBKS ke batsmen ko roka, aur Josh Hazlewood ke aakhri over mein Shashank Singh ke 61 runs ke bawajood, RCB ne baazi maar li.
Yeh jeet sirf Virat ki nahi, poore RCB ke fans ki thi. Bengaluru ke Chinnaswamy Stadium ke baahar toh jashn ka mahaul tha, par afsos ki baat yeh ki is jashn mein ek stampede mein 7 logon ki jaan chali gayi.. Par yeh jeet us har fan ke liye thi, jo har saal ummeed lekar TV ke saamne baithta tha. Aur Virat, jo hamesha se RCB ke saath wafaadaar rahe, unke liye toh yeh ek sapna poora hone jaisa tha. Unhone kaha, “This is far more special than winning it with anyone else, because my heart is with Bangalore.”. Yeh baat dil ko chhoo jati hai, kyunki Virat ne apne dil se dil tak baat ki.
Ab thodi si baat Punjab Kings ki bhi kar lete hain. Haan, woh haar gaye, par unki team ne bhi dil jeet liya. Shreyas Iyer ki captaincy, Ricky Ponting ka coaching, aur Shashank Singh ka shandaar 61 not out – yeh sab kuchh itna bura toh nahi tha. PBKS ne poore season mein shandaar khela, aur final tak pahunch kar unhone dikha diya ki woh bhi champions banne ke haqdaar hain. Shashank Singh ka woh aakhri over, jahan unhone 22 runs maare, dil ko thodi si ummeed de gaya, par afsos, 6 runs se chook gaye.. Par yeh haar unki kabiliyat ko kam nahi karti. Agle saal, shayad PBKS ka number aaye
Aur waise bhi, cricket mein haar-jeet toh chalti rehti hai. Yaad hai na 2016 ka IPL final, jahan RCB, Virat ke 973 runs ke bawajood, Sunrisers Hyderabad se haar gaya tha?. Us waqt bhi Virat ne dil se khela, par khitab nahi mila. Ya phir 2011 ka World Cup final, jahan India ne Sri Lanka ko hara kar khitab jeeta, aur Virat ek naye star ban kar ubhre. Cricket ka yeh safar aisa hi hai – kabhi khushi, kabhi gham. Par Virat ka yeh Father’s Day message usi khushi ka hissa hai, jo woh apne fans ke saath baant rahe hain.
Lekin thodi si khatkhat toh banta hai. Yeh saari baatein, yeh emotional messages, yeh sab toh theek hai, par Virat bhai, zara apne strike rate pe bhi dhyaan do na! IPL 2025 mein 657 runs theek hain, par thodi si aur aggression chahiye thi.. Aur waise bhi, ab khitab jeet liya, toh agle saal kya? Phir se wahi purana RCB, jo playoffs tak toh pahunchta hai, par aage nahi badhta? Bas yeh soch kar thoda sa dil baith jata hai. Par filhaal, yeh jashn ka waqt hai, aur Virat ka yeh Father’s Day message usi jashn ka ek chhota sa hissa hai. Bas, agle saal thodi si aur mehnat, thodi si aur ummeed, aur shayad ek aur khitab
