Two days after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 Final to retain their maiden IPL triumph, the veteran Indian batter Virat Kohli’s conversation with the young batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has finally been brought to light, with an official video revealing the legendary cricketer's powerful words of wisdom to the 15-year-old prodigy.

Sooryavanshi was in attendance for the IPL 2026 final, where he took home five major honours, including the Orange Cap, MVP, Super Striker, and Most Sixes of the season.

This was the second meeting between Virat Kohli and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, as they previously met in the league stage of the tournament, where the former RCB captain autographed the RR batting sensation’s cap, which he happily flaunted as a prized possession.

The conversation between the two not only showcased the mutual respect between an established icon and a rising star but also highlighted Kohli’s commitment to mentoring the next generation.

What Kohli Said to Sooryavanshi in a Viral Conversation?

Virat Kohli’s conversation with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after the IPL 2026 final caught the spotlight, but fans were left curious about the actual content of the exchange, as the initial footage circulating on social media lacked audio.

A few days later, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) released a video on its X handle (formerly Twitter), which reveals the conversation between Kohli and Sooryavanshi. In a video, the veteran Indian batter was advising the 15-year-old to remain steadfast and grounded, emphasising that his remarkable success thus far was a direct result of his own hard work and conviction.

“Yaha se upar jana hai. Jo huya hai woh achi mehnat aur belief ke wajah se huya. Kaun kya bol raha hai, kaise bol raha hai. Ek Bihari sab pe bhaari. Khatam game,” Kohli said. (Go above from here. What has happened has happened because of hard work and belief. Who says what, and how they say it. A Bihari outweighs everyone. Game over."

‘Ek Bihari Sab Pe Bhari’: Fans Love Kohli’s Message to Vaibhav

The viral conversation between Virat Kohli and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sparked a wave of reactions on social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), with fans and cricket enthusiasts praising Kohli’s mentorship, emotional support, and motivational words for the young prodigy, while the ‘Ek Bihari Sab Pe Bhaari’ remark quickly went viral.

Taking to their X handles, fans and cricket enthusiasts lauded Kohli’s guidance, highlighting the inspiring senior-junior bond, celebrating Sooryavanshi’s talent, and making the phrase “Ek Bihari Sab Pe Bhaari” trend across social media.

I have never seen this culture in any other country the way seniors guided the youth crickets in india. It's a culture, isn't it. If we struggle for guidance in life, we tend to take advice from our seniors or friends or those who mentor us.

Really the best advice Sorryavanshi could get. He should bookmark this advice and replay it in his mind everyday and concentrate on his game and keep believing himself (while ignoring all other things) as advised by the King himself.

I love it when seniors regardless of their field motivate their juniors like this. Trust me, it really helps boost morale and self belief.

Words of wisdom from @imVkohli 
Legacy of Indian batsmanship is a heavy burden to carry and it comes to only the those who pass the harshest of trials and tribulations.

While the entire cricket community is busy praising Vaibhav (and rightly so), just notice what Kohli tells him don’t listen to whatever people say (good or bad). That’s the difference in mentality among elite athletes. https://t.co/CFo2NVQElT
