Virat Kohli’s record when he remained unbeaten in run chases:
T20Is - 18/18 wins
ODIs - 51/52 wins (1 lost due to DLS)
IPL - 26/29 wins (in 2018, 2010, 2008)
T20 cricket - 46/49 wins (same 3 in IPL)
The greatest of all-time 🐐
@imchikachirag Exactly, the void hurts.
I will still watch cricket. But that passion is missing from our team.
Even Gill seems so much pressured.
GG Seems to have messed up the team dynamics too I guess.
And knowing VK, he isn’t coming back..
@imchikachirag I stopped watching Test cricket and T20 bro..
For me he was Indian Test cricket!
The man who gave us 5 test maces, the so called “failed captain “! 🥲
Nineteen seasons.
Nineteen summers.
Nineteen auctions.
Nineteen fresh squads.
Nineteen times people said, “maybe this year age catches up.”
Nineteen times bowlers made plans.
Nineteen times fans carried hope into another IPL.
And through all of it, one man remained.
Virat Kohli in red and gold.
We have seen entire IPL eras rise and disappear in front of our eyes. Legends changed teams. Captains changed cities. Generations changed. The league itself transformed from fearless cricket into data-driven cricket into power-hitting madness.
But one thing somehow stayed untouched.
A man walking out for RCB with impossible expectations on his shoulders.
And still delivering.
Not for 2 seasons.
Not for 5.
Not for a purple patch.
For nearly TWO DECADES.
People will talk about the numbers.
The thousands of runs.
The hundreds.
The chases.
The consistency.
The records.
And yes, they matter.
But statistics alone cannot explain what Virat Kohli has meant to this league.
Because numbers do not capture loyalty.
Numbers do not capture pressure.
Numbers do not capture what it means to carry the hopes of one franchise for 19 straight years in the loudest cricket tournament on earth.
Twelve different IPL seasons with 400+ runs.
Think about that for a second.
In a format designed for chaos…
in a league designed to expose weakness…
through injuries, form slumps, captaincy pressure, scrutiny, trolling, expectations and changing teammates…
he still found a way to show up.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Tonight was not just another innings.
It was another reminder.
That greatness is not only about peaks.
It is about returning.
Every single season.
Every single time people doubt.
Every single time the game evolves.
Every single time younger stars arrive.
And still being the standard.
There are players with bigger power.
Players with crazier strike rates.
Players with shorter bursts of brilliance.
But there has never been another Virat Kohli.
Because nobody has blended hunger, skill, fitness, passion, loyalty, pressure and longevity quite like this man.
For RCB fans, he is not just a player anymore.
He is memory.
He is childhood for one generation.
Adulthood for another.
And inspiration for the next.
Someday the IPL will continue without him.
RCB will continue without him.
New stars will come.
New heroes will rise.
But there will always be a silence when fans realize they once lived in an era where Virat Kohli opened the batting for RCB every summer.
And made it feel normal.
Love you @imVkohli to the moon and back.
Dear @ICC,
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the recent T20 World Cup, a global cricketing spectacle on a scale unlike any other in past years. It was so good that several nations decided not to leave upon their tournament exit, and it appears they might never do so.
As for us, the tournament brought drama and infamy. We staked our claim to replace the forfeiting Pakistan, then realised the harsh economic and logistical realities of international sport. Colombo is not Reykjavík, in so many ways. Then we had the unforfeiture of Pakistan, an event that actually vindicated our 'stay-at-home, fire it out online' strategy. They knew their plan and played it like a fish.
Let's not forget the actual cricket. The associate nations nearly caused several shocks - both Nepal, Netherlands, and Italy all coming within a whisker of a win over the big boys. Then there was the classic match between Afghanistan and South Africa, which was so good they did the Super Over twice.
At the end of the day, it was India's tournament to host and they delivered, blasting more than 500 runs across the semis and final. They brought the fire. We watched and tried to learn, but lava bedded wickets are not quite the same. Conquering Iceland remains the ultimate litmus test of a batter.
We count the statistics and arrive at an aggregate count of 245 posts by us on X and 3,420 loaves of bread baked by our captain, Dushan Bandara, across the tournament as a whole. Our Chairman, a ship captain, steered all voyages safely into harbour.
And finally, the world famous Íslensk Premier League (ÍPL) is now only two months away, the T20 franchise tournament with a sub-Arctic twist. We wait patiently and keep our keyboards warm.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
