Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have become synonymous in the world of cricket.
Recently, RCB CEO Rajesh Menon confirmed that the franchise expects the legendary batter to continue his journey with the team for the next three to four years, fueling media reports that he could remain with the side until 2030.
Since joining in 2008, Kohli has been the only player to represent a single franchise across every IPL season.
This unique bond, which the CEO describes as two sides of the same coin, is even more significant following RCB’s historic championship wins in 2025 and 2026.
Despite his veteran status, Kohli’s exceptional fitness and hunger for runs remain elite.
As the T20 era often sees players switching teams frequently, Kohli’s commitment serves as a rare example of loyalty.
While the 2030 timeline is an expression of the franchise's intent rather than a signed contract, it is clear that the 'King' of Bengaluru will continue to shape the team's identity for years to come.
