Virat Kohli odds

Virat Kohli is the captain of India in all three formats of the game and arguably the world’s best cricketer.

He is a run-making machine that has his eye on all of India‘s batting records.

Fresh off the heels of the great Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli’s emergence as a batting great has continued a rich Indian tradition of magicians with the willow.

Since taking the captaincy from MS Dhoni, Kohli has been in sublime form for the last couple of years and helped India win games of cricket with great consistency.

The right-handed batsman is numero uno in limited-overs cricket in terms of batting for the past five years and miles ahead of contemporaries like England’s Joe Root and Australia’s Steven Smith.

Virat Kohli teams and franchises

In 2008, the IPL‘s Royal Challengers Bangalore took a chance on a young Virat Kohli, paying a small amount to place him in the team’s squad. After struggling in his first season, Kohli’s rise in T20 echoed his improvement in other formats and by 2011 he had become a star, scoring 557 runs in 16 games at an average of 46.41.

In 2013, he scored 634 runs in 16 games for Royal Challengers Bangalore at an average of 45.28. He broke all the batting records in 2016 Indian Premier League and scored 973 runs in 16 games at a staggering average of 91.55. Kohli scored four centuries in the competition to see Royal Challengers Bangalore play their second final in IPL history. Royal Challengers Bangalore did not clinch the crown, but the season belonged to Virat Kohli for his scintillating performances in the competition.

The following year turned out to be an all-time low for Virat Kohli as Royal Challengers Bangalore finished last on the points table. Kohli suffered from a lean run with the bat and finished with 300-odd runs in 10 games.

Royal Challengers Bangalore retained Virat Kohli for a whopping price of Rs 17 crore for the coming season. The franchise will be hoping for a better season as Kohli has been in stupendous form for past six months. As a captain of the side, Kohli will be determined to see Royal Challengers Bangalore go the distance to win their maiden crown in the coming season of Indian Premier League.
