How to watch Virat Kohli at IPL 2026

Hailing Virat Kohli as the highest run-scorer in IPL history hardly scratches the surface. The cricketing icon also holds the records for most centuries, half-centuries, fours and catches in the field, and he’s the only player to have represented a single team – Royal Challengers Bengaluru – throughout all 19 Indian Premier League seasons.

And now, finally, he’s an IPL champion. VK was 19 years old when he first stepped out in red and black, and initially struggled to find his role. After a pair of runner-up finishes either side of bronze in his first four seasons, little could he have imagined that it would take him almost two decades to get to the top.
