Virat Kohli considered one of the greatests of the game, bounced back and silenced his critics in 2023 after a couple of below-par years according to his standards.
Kohli began repeating what he used to do best during his prime, which is scoring big and converting his starts into triple-digit scores. And this time the batsman has vowed to give his best in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in order to help the franchise win their maiden IPL title.
Kohli has been with the franchise since 2008, becoming the only player in IPL history to play for only one team since the first season, but has been unfortunate to not get his hands over any silverware.

I am always going to be here, try to be part of the group that wins it for the first time. I will try my best with my ability and experience to do it for the fans and the franchise. It is a dream of mine as well to know what it feels like to win the IPL."
