The Legacy of King Kohli in IPL

King Kohli

The Beginning of an Era

Kohli's IPL saga commenced in 2008 when he was drafted by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) following his stellar performance in the Under-19 World Cup. Little did the cricketing world know that this young lad from Delhi would go on to redefine batting standards in the league.​

They say, "Well begun is half done." Clearly, Kohli took this to heart and then some!

Records Galore

Over the years, Kohli has amassed a plethora of records that stand as a testament to his dominance:​

• Leading Run-Scorer: With over 8,000 runs in 254 matches, Kohli tops the IPL run charts. ​myKhel+2myKhel+2The Times of India+2

• Centuries and Fifties: He boasts 8 centuries and 56 half-centuries, showcasing his ability to both anchor and accelerate innings. ​Wikipedia+2myKhel+2ESPN Cricinfo+2

• Most Runs in a Season: The 2016 season saw Kohli amass a staggering 973 runs, the highest by any player in a single edition. ​The Times of India+4myKhel+4Wikipedia+4

If runs were currency, Kohli would probably own a small country by now.

Captaincy Chronicles

Taking over the reins of RCB, Kohli led the team in 143 matches, securing 66 victories. Despite his leadership prowess, the elusive IPL trophy remained just out of grasp, with a notable runners-up finish in 2016. ​The Times of India

Leading RCB is like being in a relationship with potential—always hopeful, yet heartbreak is just around the corner.

Memorable Partnerships

Kohli's camaraderie with fellow cricketers has produced some unforgettable moments:​

• Dynamic Duo with AB de Villiers: Their partnership against Gujarat Lions in 2016 yielded a record 229 runs, leaving bowlers and fans in sheer awe. ​Wikipedia

When Kohli and AB bat together, bowlers might as well start updating their resumes.

Fielding Feats

Beyond his batting exploits, Kohli's agility on the field is noteworthy:​

• Most Catches: With 114 catches, he tops the chart for the most catches by a fielder in IPL history. ​

If cricket doesn't work out, a career in acrobatics awaits.

• 2024 Season: Clinched the cap again with 741 runs. ​Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1
