Virat Kohli played his final game as the captain of RCB on Monday (October 11). Here is a look at some of his best moments as an RCB skipper.
1. Taking RCB to final against SRH in 2016
Virat Kohli became the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013. In a spectacular display of his leadership, he helped his team reach the final of IPL 2016. Though the team lost out on the opportunity to win against Sunrisers Hyderabad by just a meagre 8 runs.
