RCB's IPL win has brought with it more than just a trophy. It has brought stories of belief and emotional redemption.
Among the most heartfelt of them comes from wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma - who revealed that he had visualised holding the IPL trophy before the season even began.

That vision became reality in Ahmedabad as RCB finally lifted their maiden IPL trophy. The 18-year wait ended with a dramatic win over PBKS in the final.
But for Jitesh, the moment was already written. Not just in destiny, but also in his journal.
What did Jitesh Sharma visualise doing after IPL win?
After the final, Jitesh took to Instagram to share a photo of himself holding the IPL trophy, flanked by none other than Virat Kohli on his left and Dinesh Karthik on his right - exactly as he had envisioned it when he joined RCB.
Jitesh was not just a part of the RCB squad. He delivered several crucial knocks throughout the season.
In 11 innings, he scored 261 runs - averaging 37.28 with a best of 85*. He has one half-century to his name, which sealed the team's top 2 spot before the playoffs.
For a player who dared to dream and then delivered, the 2025 title will always be more than a medal. It’s a personal victory of belief made real.
