Will Virat Kohli leave RCB? Here's what the Indian skipper has to say about it

Virat Kohli has been associated with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since the inception of IPL back in 2008. He started captaining the side from the 2013 season. The Bengaluru franchise has made three final appearances in 2009, 2011, and 2016 respectively where they faltered at the final hurdle on each occasion. Meanwhile, RCB were also the runners up of CLT20 2011 where they lost to Mumbai Indians in the title clash. 

However, Kohli has gone on to say that he will not be leaving the team until the time he is playing in the tournament.
