KL Rahul has been one of the most prolific run getters in the history of the Indian Premier League. Having debuted with Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013, the 32-year-old has scored 4,683 runs in the 10 seasons that he has played. After playing just five matches in his first season, he moved to Sunrisers Hyderabad for a couple of seasons. However, his returns were average at best. 2016 proved to be the breakthrough season for Rahul, where he scored 397 runs at a strike rate of 146 in a star-studded RCB line-up that had the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB De Villiers and Shane Watson. Unfortunately, he had to miss the 2017 season owing to injury and was shockingly released ahead of the 2018 mega auction. King XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings) signed the batter in the auction, and he did not disappoint. Out of the five seasons for the franchise, he piled more than 600 runs in four years, and missed making a perfect five as he fell seven runs short in 2019.

Virat Kohli is no stranger to the Indian Premier League, often reminding fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)- because the beloved cricketer has been associated with the IPL team since its inception in 2008.

It was also the year that forged an unbreakable bond between Kohli and RCB, as the cricketer continues to stay associated with the IPL franchise to this day. Leading India’s resounding win in the Under 19 World Cup of 2008, the then newbie Kohli would go on to recount his selection by the RCB as an ‘impactful moment’ for his career.
