The biggest accolade Flower has received is an IPL 2025 title, when he took RCB to victory after 17 years of trying. Punjab Kings were beaten by just six runs in the final held at Ahmedabad after the team had been in the three finals before but could never clinch the trophy. The last moments were so emotional to watch, especially for Virat Kohli, who annotated 43 runs with him after the game, sharing a heartfelt hug with Flower. Kohli was overwhelmed with happiness and tears; they had finally done what they had been dreaming of.
