Three players who have represented the same franchise from the beginning of the IPL 

#1 Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Of course, it's the RCB skipper and the Indian national team captain Virat Kohli who has played for a single franchise for the most number of matches in the IPL.

Kohli, who has played 163 matches in the IPL, all for RCB, has scored a total of 4,948 runs at an outstanding average of 38.36 and a sound strike rate of over 130. Although RCB has not won a single IPL trophy till date, Virat nearly made it happen for his team in 2016, when he scored over 900 runs and took his teams to the finals. However, RCB missed out on a golden chance from a winning position against SRH in the finals.

This time, with a strong and capable bunch of players, the RCB skipper would be hopeful about their chances in IPL 2019.
