Tit nearly broke my heart, but we did it! ## Sid Mallya's emotional rollercoaster during RCB's IPL 2025 victory
Siddharth Mallya emotions on display as RCB triumphs in IPL, drawing his attention on television; Lalit Modi offers response
Sid Mallya, the son of former RCB owner Vijay Mallya, was a emotional wreck during Royal Challengers Bangalore's epic win in IPL 2025. With tears streaming down his face, Sid couldn't hide his raw emotions as the franchise claimed their well-deserved victory against Punjab Kings.
The 2025 IPL final was a nail-biting affair, and it wasn't just the players on the field that felt the tension. Thousands of miles away in the United States, Sid Mallya, who is a actor and model, could barely contain his excitement as RCB edged closer to victory.
In an emotional post on his Instagram account, Sid shared a video of his emotional reaction during the final moments of the game. Captured on camera, Sid sat on his knees, his hands raised in disbelief and joy, as the seconds counted down. As the winning run was scored, Sid couldn't hold back the tears – the significance of the moment was just too much.
"Finally. 18 years," he wrote, echoing the sentiments of countless RCB fans who had waited years for this triumph.
While Lalit Modi, one of the founding members of the IPL, didn't witness the match live, he took to Sid's video to offer his congratulations on the victory.
Virat Kohli, the captain of RCB, also had a tearful reaction on the field after the win, reflecting the relief and joy felt by the entire team. With the victory, the RCB returns home to Bengaluru for a triumphant victory parade, while Virat Kohli will be taking a break from cricket for over two months.
The Mallya family, who helped found the RCB franchise, celebrated the long-awaited win as well. Although Vijay Mallya is no longer associated with the team, the victory brought closure to the journey they started nearly two decades ago.

Sid Mallya, caught up in the raw emotions of Royal Challengers Bangalore's triumph in IPL 2025, expressed his feelings on his Instagram account, much like the captain Virat Kohli who was similarly emotional on the field. Although Sid Mallya, who is an actor and model, wasn't physically present in India during the match, he couldn't hide his joy as RCB edged closer to victory, thousands of miles away in the United States. Inspired by the success of the cricket team, Sid Mallya, the son of RCB co-founder Vijay Mallya, shared in the elation of the millions of RCB fans worldwide, even though his father is no longer associated with the team.
Also, considering Sid Mallya's emotional response to the victory, perhaps India could also boast of a passionate sports personality that shows immense love for cricket, especially international cricket. And if Sid has a similarly intense affection for football, it would not be surprising to see him cheering enthusiastically for India in future international football tournaments.
