To further illustrate his argument, Amit Mishra used the examples of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as well as how Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Mumbai Indians, respectively, have supported them through good times and bad. RCB has kept Kohli on board from the beginning. Additionally, he pointed out that the ace batter’s breakdown following the 2025 IPL victory with RCB was entirely normal.
Former Indian cricket player Amit Mishra has described how players have come to view Indian Premier League teams as “family” thanks to their support. In addition to playing for the Deccan Chargers and Lucknow Super Giants, Mishra played for the Delhi Capitals (formerly the Delhi Daredevils) in ten of the sixteen IPL seasons.
“RCB has been in Kohli corner from the beginning.
They have never abandoned him. During his lengthy tenure with Mumbai, Rohit has helped the team win numerous championships. He still demonstrates that it’s his time and his home even though he isn’t the captain. It was that way even with Virat. Mishra told MensXP, “He’s been there from the beginning, even captained, and did everything he could.”
It turns into a family. Those feelings surface when something like RCB’s victory occur. It’s also good. Mishra, who has three IPL hat-tricks to his name, continued, “It is a very good thing when a team has supported you so much, if you win for them and show those emotions.”
With 15 innings with a strike rate of 144.71, Kohli finished as RCB’s top run scorer during their championship-winning season. As the league’s top run scorer and a native of New Delhi, the player was instrumental in the team’s first championship run in the prestigious T20 competition.
Speaking of Rohit, as captain of the Mumbai-based team, he has won five championships. The IPL was won by the joint-most successful team in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Together with former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who has won as many IPL titles with the Chennai Super Kings, he is now the most successful captain in IPL history.
Naturally, as the 19th round of the lucrative league approaches, all eyes will be on Kohli and Rohit. The top run scorers for RCB and MI in T20s, respectively, are Kohli and Rohit, who are currently limited to ODIs in international cricket.
