Virat Kohli in the IPL: The transformation from 2008-2018 in pictures 

2013- They knew a batting star, but it was time to show them the leader

If you are wondering that where India got its aggressive skipper, then you must watch some games of IPL 2013. It was the season when Virat Kohli made his captaincy debut for RCB.

People usually diminish when they are offered more responsibilities, however, for Virat, it was vice-versa. The right-handed batsman scored 634 runs at a healthy average of 46, finishing as third highest run-getter of the season. Hence making the world believe that the more the responsibility, the better the performance.

2014- Time for a roller coaster

Things get better with time is a myth. They can get worse from good as well. Excellent 2014 season was followed by a downcast show as Kohli failed to make an impact both as a batsman as well as captain of RCB in IPL 2015.

He made meagre 354 runs while Bangalore also ended the season at the bottom of the table.
