His cricketing saga, marked by a rise from the Under-19 World Cup victory in 2008 to becoming an Indian cricket icon, mirrors his steadfast commitment to RCB since being picked in the inaugural IPL auction at just 19. Wearing the RCB colors, he has experienced a gamut of emotions, from exhilarating highs to challenging lows, all while garnering immense fan support.

Kohli’s record-breaking achievements include amassing the highest runs in IPL history and securing the most IPL centuries by an Indian player.
“Loyalty above all. We love you, King Kohli,” RCB captioned the post.
