Kohli fuels RCB rise on and off field in IPL
Virat Kohli continues to shape Royal Challengers Bangalore’s growth in the IPL as of March 2026, driving success with both his performances and his influence beyond cricket.
Runs, presence, identity — Kohli has been RCB’s heartbeat, piling up key scores over the years. “RCB is an emotion for me,” he said, underlining his bond with the franchise.
Off the field, his global appeal has elevated the club’s brand. “His impact goes beyond cricket,” a team insider noted.
Despite no title yet, the belief remains. “We’ve built something strong,” Kohli added.
More than a player — the engine behind RCB’s rise.
