Anand Mahindra finds Monday motivation in Virat Kohli: After years of near misses, RCB star's loyalty and belief pay off with consecutive IPL titles

Anand Mahindra, who shared a photograph of Kohli celebrating after his match-winning fifty in IPL 2026 final against Gujrat Titans and described the RCB star as his source of Monday motivation. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title defence on Saturday night was a team achievement. But for many fans, one image from the IPL 2026 final captured a much bigger story — Virat Kohli standing tall after guiding RCB to a second consecutive championship.

"Yes, it's a team sport. And this is a team victory," Mahindra wrote.

"But every championship has a story that comes to define it. This one belongs, in no small measure, to this man."

He went on to praise Kohli's "Loyalty, Commitment, Belief," adding that the batter stayed the course through years of disappointment and near misses before finally seeing his faith rewarded.

Mahindra concluded his post by saying Kohli's journey was inspiring regardless of profession and added, "There's no need for any other source of MondayMotivation."
