He played his first IPL for RCB team in the year 2008. And since then, he has offered his services for this team, with full commitment. Virat started playing for the Indian Cricket team, after proving his ability while playing for India U-19 and also for RCB. Today, at 37, he is still fit and unmatched with his perfect teachnique, whether he is playing for India or RCB team.
Virat Kohli
When it comes to creating new recors, he is always there in the race, competing with youngster and especially teenagers, half his age. In the ongoing 2026 IPL T-20, Virat has invited the attention of cricket lovers with his consistent performance in the first five matches he has played for RCB team.
As on today, in this early stage of IPL, he is the Orange cap holder scoring 228 runs with an average of 57.00 and strike rate of 158.33, which is really creditable. With unbeaten 69 against SRH, 50 against MI, 49 against LSG 32 against RR and 28 against CSK, shows how dependable he has been for his team.Therefore, having offered his services in competitive cricket for almost 20 years now, atleast I wouldn’t call him a veteran; but, prefer to call him the real and most dependable ‘Master of Cricket’ among the present day cricketers. No wonder, he is addressed by our cricket commentatators as ‘King Kohli’.
