Kohli: IPL showed people have different ways to succeed

Virat Kohli

IPL's all-time leading scorer, Virat Kohli, feels playing in the lucrative league for 15 seasons has made him realise that there is not just one template to succeed in the game in which he has attained superstar status.

It also helped him add a different dimension to his "understanding of the game", the former India captain said.

Seeking to regain his touch after battling a prolonged slump in form, Kohli has so far accumulated nearly 6,500 runs in the IPL, having played for Royal Challengers Bangalore from its inaugural edition in 2008.

On IPL's impact on his life, Kohli told Star Sports, "I think outside of playing for India, IPL gave me the platform to show my capabilities, compete against the best in the world and share knowledge with them. I think that was the most important thing that added a different dimension to my understanding of the game. This helped me move ahead in a very progressive manner."

"You know, people have different ways to succeed so it can't be just one template. So I used to be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to pick their brains and just learn from them day in and day out and that's for me has been the standout feature of IPL."
