Virat Kohli has frequently mentioned that he won't join any other team except for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This year, Kohli achieved a double win with RCB by claiming two IPL championships in a row. Both he and the team waited 18 years to win their first championship, and now they have got two titles in just two years. Kohli is currently 38 years old, and RCB's CEO Rajesh Menon believes Kohli will continue playing for at least three to four more years. "RCB and Virat are like two sides of the same coin," Rajesh Menon stated. "He has always been a key player for RCB. We have never seen him away from RCB, even if he decides to retire from playing cricket. We need to find out," he mentioned. "That being said, I am confident he will be playing for the next three to four years. . . at least four years. He is in great shape, and his passion for the game is still strong. You saw his performance during this IPL season - his energy, runs, and attitude were all impressive. Three to four years will be absolutely fine," he added. The RCB star batsman Virat Kohli shared his thoughts about the team's successful IPL 2026 season in a heartfelt message on X, just a few days after the team secured its IPL title with a strong win against Gujarat Titans in the final match. RCB won their second straight IPL title by beating Gujarat Titans by five wickets in the final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31, making them only the third team in the history of the tournament, along with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, to successfully defend their championship.

By sharing a video on X, Kohli reflected on the team's experience over the season and emphasized the connection among the players. "We began the season with confidence and ended with consecutive titles. This team went through every feeling together - the highs, the stress, the challenges, and the constant support. It feels particularly meaningful because. . . this place is HOME! @RCBTweets," Kohli wrote.
