Data-driven analysis by Third Umpire, our AI that backs every claim with verified IPL statistics.
Virat Kohli converts starts. A score of 30 or 40 means he will stay till the end, win the match, and, if he gets into form, become consistent. That is why, in ODI cricket, Virat Kohli has always been ahead of Rohit Sharma.
"Everything's going to plan. We took a few extra weeks once we couldn't make the Test matches. I had a couple of bowls off the half-run last week. Running's going well, all the strength stuff's going well so, yeah, on track,”
“If I look back at my whole journey then it is nothing short of a dream come true for me. If I am being brutally honest, the way I’m playing right now, I’m not thinking about milestones at all,”
The veteran, after retiring from the other forms, continues to dictate 50-over cricket. Kohli’s return to the No. 1 spot comes on the back of a consistent run in the 50-over format, where he has continued to anchor India’s batting with trademark control and composure.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru enter IPL 2026 as defending champions under new captain Rajat Patidar, having made major squad overhauls while retaining their irreplaceable talisman Virat Kohli - the #1 all-time run-scorer with 8,661 runs (run scorers). The franchise made a statement at auction with Venkatesh Iyer at ₹23.75 Cr (#3 highest-paid player in IPL), signaling intent to build around a dynamic Indian all-rounder.
