The year 2025 witnessed a remarkable trend across the world of sports, where major franchises broke long-standing trophy droughts and iconic players finally clinched their first major titles. It became a memorable year not only for the teams but also for the individuals who had long awaited such glory. Here, let us take a look at three major sports personalities who secured their maiden major title in 2025.
Sports Personalities who won their first Major Title in 2025
1. Virat Kohli
Indian veteran and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) icon Virat Kohli finally ended an 18-year wait by winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy in 2025. Over the years, RCB had reached the IPL final three times, in 2009, 2011, and 2016, and once in the Champions League T20, only to fall short each time. Despite coming close, the coveted title remained slippery from their hands. However, in the 18th edition of the IPL, Kohli lifted the long-awaited trophy, breaking the franchise’s title drought and registering their name in the history books.
