'Players like Virat bring out....' - Tom Moody makes a big comment on Virat Kohli's personality
Virat Kohli has been one of the most prominent personalities to feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL), as he has helped the tournament grow from strength to strength. Virat has been part of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since the inception of the IPL, and he is the only player to play for a single franchise from the start.
It is enough to know the relationship between Virat Kohli and RCB. The Bangalore-based franchise had invested a lot in Virat, as the team backed him to come good for them even when he was an Under-19 player.
Virat Kohli has also repaid the faith by being one of the greatest players ever to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the history of the league. The legendary batter also captained the franchise for a number of years, and while RCB didn’t win the trophy, Virat’s contribution was immense.
Under his leadership, RCB reached the final in 2016, and they were very close to winning their maiden IPL trophy. That year, Virat piled up 973 runs, which is still a record for the most runs in a single edition of the league.
