About

A bonafide superstar of the sport and the TATA IPL, Virat Kohli has been with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) through thick and thin. The flamboyant cricketer was the captain of the Indian team that won the 2008 ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup and since then there has been no looking back for Kohli. He made his IPL debut shortly after that U-19 win and has been part of the RCB set-up ever since, also leading the side from 2013 to 2021, during which he guided them to the 2016 final. That same year, he scored a record 973 runs, which is still the most runs scored in a single IPL edition. The former India captain, who is the only player with over 8000 IPL runs, has also scaled incredible heights in international cricket. He was retained by RCB for IPL 2025 and goes into the tournament on the back of another Orange Cap-winning 2024 season.
