RCB CEO sure Virat Kohli will be playing in the IPL 'for at least four years'

The 37-year-old Kohli was RCB's leading run-scorer in this year's IPL with 675 runs at a strike rate of 165.84 to help his team to a second consecutive trophy.

He has already retired from the Test and T20 formats at international level and the jury is out as to how long he will continue to represent RCB in the IPL.

There is still one year left in the current auction cycle, with the next mega auction due only before the 2028 IPL season.

Speaking to CNBC TV18, Menon said: "RCB and Virat are different sides of the same coin. He has been the constant factor for RCB throughout. We have not seen him not being part of RCB even if he moves out of his cricketing career.

"We have to figure out. That said, next three-four years, am sure he'll be playingâ¦for at least four years. He is fit, the hunger never dies.

"You saw him this IPL season bring on the energy, runs, attitudeâ¦.everything was there. Three-four years, absolutely no problem."

Kohli is determined to play for India at the 2027 ODI World Cup but has was not selected for the ongoing series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury.

India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar expects Kohli to be fit for the three ODIs against England in July.
