England captain Kane sent his congratulations to cricket legend Kohli after the Indian batter led the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their first ever Indian Premier League title. While renowned as one of the modern international greats in cricket, Kohli had never succeeded in winning the IPL before Tuesday, when his side beat Punjab Kings by six runs to end his 18-year wait for the T20 trophy.

Kane himself is no stranger to a trophy drought. The striker came close on a number of occasions at Tottenham and couldn't get his hands on any silverware during his first season with Bayern Munich, but the second campaign did the trick as Vincent Kompany's side regained the Bundesliga crown from Bayer Leverkusen.
WHAT KANE SAID
Posting on his Instagram, Kane wrote: "One from the archives to say a massive congrats to Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on a first IPL title! Unreal achievement."

Kane is a keen cricketer and has been filmed by both England and Tottenham during impromptu matches between players. Last summer during the Euros he was bowled out by Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice but he maintained that he "had made my century already".
