The only cricketer in the IPL to play for the same franchise since the inaugural season is none other than Virat Kohli. The current Indian captain is a genius when it comes to T20 cricket as he dominates the opposition with minimal effort.

Not being a muscular power hitter that the IPL demands, the lap of luxury that the 30-year-old has achieved over the years with his class makes him extraordinary. He is the only batsman to slam 4 IPL hundreds in one season and is currently in a tussle with Suresh Raina to become the leading run-scorer in the extravagant league.

Kohli also holds the record for scoring the most number of runs in a season, smashing 973 from 16 matches back in 2016. Royal Challengers Bangalore are blessed to have a freak of a player and can't afford to trade him ever.
