NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) embarked on a heartfelt celebration of
Virat Kohli
's illustrious 16-year journey with the franchise, unveiling a vibrant poster on their official social media platforms. The colourful poster, titled "16 years, 1 king", symbolizes Kohli's enduring legacy as a cricketing monarch within the RCB ranks, adding more weight to his GOAT (greatest of all time) status.
In the eye-catching poster, the 35-year-old batting maestro stands confidently in front of a stack of televisions, with each screen capturing various iconic moments of Kohli donning the RCB jersey throughout the years. The visual spectacle serves as a reminder of the cricketer's commitment and stellar contributions to the team since the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008.
Despite relinquishing the captaincy reins, Kohli continues to be a guiding force and a beacon of inspiration for the Bengaluru-based franchise, which has been in pursuit of clinching their maiden IPL title.
Alongside a staggering tally of 7,263 runs from 237 matches at an impressive strike rate of 130, Kohli's monumental contributions to RCB include an impressive tally of 50 half-centuries and seven centuries.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to kick off the season with an enthralling encounter against Chennai Super Kings on March 22, 2024.
