Ravi Shastri Rendition’s a World for Kohli being a multiple-time IPL Winner

After more than fifteen years of playing in the highest division of cricket, Virat Kohli has accomplished practically everything. He is the most successful Test captain of India, a multiple-time winner of the ICC Player of the Year award, the winner of the World Cup, and the finest all-around batter of the contemporary age. But there is one accomplishment that he has yet to do, which is the reason we used the term "almost" above. Even with an incredible career filled with several awards, Kohli has not yet taken home the IPL championship.

Kohli has been a member of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru from the league's inception in 2008, but despite a run of impressive individual performances, he hasn't been able to take home the exquisite trophy. He's appeared three times when RCB made it to the championship game—in 2009, 2011 and 2016—but failed to get past the last stage each time. Even while the majority of his peers have at least one IPL victory under their belts Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and MS Dhoni, for example, have each won five times Kohli has yet to produce a winning performance in his 17 attempts.

Ravi Shastri’s on Kohli:

One of Kohli's closest confidants and former India coach Ravi Shastri weighed in on the matter, describing a parallel world in which Virat would have already won several IPL titles. As was already established, Kohli's performance has never been a concern; his team is the issue. Kohli captained the RCB for nine seasons, but he was unable to bring the team to a championship; Shastri may have discovered why.

"Virat Kohli would have won the most number of trophies if IPL was an individual sport,"
~he said on Star Sports.
