[Chirag Mehta @imchikachirag]

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.

741 runs. Brilliant run outs. Never gave up even when everything was down 🫡

We always believed. ❤️ @imVkohli

There we go man, it’s the same template as always. Kohli slows down mid innings in a couple of games, SR articles come through. Now that he has put that to bed and is scoring runs for fun, let’s get at him with attitude and behaviour. At the end of it, nothing sells for you all without him. Just stop this attack for absolutely no reason, he’s been playing the game for 15 years like this if you found anything different in a random Sunday night game you are the one not looking at it right

[arfan @Im__Arfan]

When he fails, he's a bad t20 batter, should just retire from this format.
When he does bat very well & team fails, he statpadded.
When he does well & team also clicks, his onfield behaviour is bad...

In short, no rest days for kohli's game & character analysis.

@IGPcom @dreamy_ritz They don’t really reply.

IGP has cheated customers and ruined my Rakhi surprise for my little brother. Absolutely #ZERO care for customer service. Instead of delivering the order, they want to put the credits in my account so that I place another order with this #FRAUD company.

They just decided to cancel it out of their own accord without contacting the recipient. They’re out here in the market just to Scam people.

This test match is absolutely fucking hilarious honestly. I don’t know why anyone would be angry with any of it. It’s been the funniest thing on TV this year
