Virat Kohli has represented RCB for 16 years and has not managed to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy. The former RCB captain said he hoped to emulate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru women’s WPL winning feat and add the IPL trophy to the team’s cabinet in the upcoming edition of the league, which gets underway on March 22.
Earlier, RCB defeated Delhi Capitals on Sunday to clinch the Women’s Premier League in the second edition itself, but their male counterparts have been still waiting for the title-winning moment.
“It was absolutely amazing. When they won it (WPL), we were watching. Hopefully, we can double it up with the trophies and that will be something truly special,” said Kohli during the RCB Unbox event in Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Kohli, who will start his 17th season with the RCB in IPL 2024, said he would bank on his skillsets and experience to translate the dream of winning the IPL trophy into reality this year.
“That’s a dream of mine to know what it feels like winning an IPL trophy. I will be here, be a part of the team that wins the trophy for the first time.
“I will try my very best with my abilities, my experience to be able to do that for the fans and the franchise,” said the former captain of RCB.

Kohli, the highest run-getter in the IPL, said his commitment to RCB and high-intensity approach would remain unwavering.
“It is because of the way we play our cricket, our commitment and the passion that we saw over the years that we have such a fanbase.
“So, that’s not going to change and that’s my promise every year to the fans, to the team and to everyone involved,” he added.
