It's my dream to know how it feels like winning the IPL: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli said he hoped to emulate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) women’s team’s feat on winning the Women's Premier League (WPL) and add the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy to the team’s cabinet in the upcoming edition, starting from 22 March.

RCB beat Delhi Capitals in the WPL final on Sunday to clinch the title in the second edition. Their male counterparts, however, have not tasted success in 16 years of the IPL.

“It was absolutely amazing. When they won it (WPL), we were watching . Hopefully, we can double it up with the trophies and that will be something truly special,” said Kohli during the RCB Unbox event at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Kohli said he would bank on his skills and experience to translate the dream of winning the IPL trophy into reality this year. “That’s a dream of mine to know what it feels like winning an IPL trophy. I will be here, be a part of the team that wins the trophy for the first time.

“I will try my very best with my abilities, my experience to be able to do that for the fans and the franchise,” said the former RCB captain.

Kohli, the highest run-getter in IPL history, said his commitment to RCB and high-intensity approach would remain unwavering. “It is because of the way we play our cricket, our commitment and the passion that we saw over the years that we have such a fanbase.

“So, that’s not going to change and that’s my promise every year to the fans, to the team and to everyone involved,” he added.
