Virat Kohli Picks His Greatest Royal Challengers Bengaluru XI of All Time

Virat Kohli was once again featured in a video posted on the official Royal Challengers Bengaluru handle. It was an edition of the RCB Bold Diaries, where Kohli had to pick his best RCB XI of all-time. He has been part of the franchise since the IPL started and has played with every player.

Whether it was with the bat or ball, he had a synergy with each and every player who has been a part of the team. From the key batsmen such as Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers to even strong bowlers such as Dale Steyn and Mitchell Starc. It was a challenging task for Kohli to pick the best, but he picked the finest of all-time.

Starting with Chris Gayle, himself, and AB de Villiers, he went on to build a strong top order. With KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, and Dinesh Karthik in the middle order, the run scoring rate accelerates. And with the ball, he selected Harshal Patel, Anil Kumble, Mitchell Starc, Dale Steyn, and Yuzvendra Chahal. The line-up looks the finest from top to bottom.

Our Take

Virat Kohli had shared a bond with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as he stayed with the team since the start of the tournament. He has played with the greats, with his generation's greats, and now he is playing with the future talents. Kohli has already given 18 seasons to the team as he now prepares for the 19th one.

Even in the last season when RCB won the trophy, the trio of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Virat Kohli were seen together. With Gayle and AB being retired from the game, they also waited for RCB to lift a trophy. And when the moment finally came, it showed that RCB was not just a team for them; it became a family.
