Since the beginning of the Indian Premier League in 2008, Kohli has been playing with RCB. He was appointed captain in mid-2011, but has been unable to win the trophy for the franchise, either as captain, or as a player. Under him, RCB’s best show came in 2016, when the team reached the final, with Kohli leading from the front scoring 973 runs including four centuries, breaking the record of ‘most runs by any player in a single edition’ of the IPL.
