Kohli has already reached the record of 250 matches for RCB, equaled by MS Dhoni. But Kohli will be the first and only cricketer in the world to play 250 matches for one team in a world famous league like IPL. He has represented only RCB so far in the last 17 seasons of IPL. He made his debut for RCB in 2008 and has been playing for the team ever since.
