Virat Kohli started participating in IPL from 2011. He has scored a lot of runs in this league, due to which he is counted among the most successful batsmen. But when it comes to captaincy, he lags behind. He got the responsibility of captaincy in 2013 and after being the captain for 9 seasons, he left this post in 2021
Virat Kohli led the team in 143 matches during this period and he is also the third captain to captain the most matches in this league. Under Virat's captaincy, RCB won 66 out of 143 matches, while lost 70 and their win percentage was only 46.15 percent. During 9 seasons, his team also could not do anything special.
