Kohli and RCB had a bittersweet journey in IPL 2020, which was hosted at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to rising COVID-19 cases in India. Finishing at fourth position during the league phase, they reached the playoffs but lost to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Eliminator.
During the league phase, RCB won seven matches and also lost the same number of fixtures.
Kohli will be hoping to perform consistently for RCB in the upcoming season, and put in a better fight for the title.
The skipper has played in 192 IPL matches until now, scoring 5878 runs, with a high score of 113. He has also registered five tons and 39 fifties.
He is also the highest run-getter in IPL history, ahead of Suresh Raina and David Warner, who are in second and third place.
IPL 2021 is set to begin on April 9, with defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) scheduled to face RCB in the season opener.
