Virat Kohli trophies: the full list of everything he has won
Kohli finally won the IPL in 2025 and again in 2026, and added a second Champions Trophy. The complete trophy list, and the one title he can no longer win.

Two things have changed in Virat Kohli’s trophy cabinet since the middle of 2024, and one of them took him eighteen years. He finally won the IPL in 2025, then won it again in 2026. He also collected a second Champions Trophy along the way.
The third change is the one nobody writes up, because it is a subtraction rather than an addition: the single gap in his collection is now permanent. Below is the complete list, followed by what each of those late additions actually meant.

The IPL title that took eighteen seasons
Kohli has played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru since the very first IPL in 2008 and never left. The franchise lost finals in 2009, 2011 and 2016. For most of two decades the joke wrote itself.
It ended on 3 June 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where RCB beat Punjab Kings by six runs to win their first IPL title. Kohli made 43, and Krunal Pandya’s 2 for 17 from four overs was the spell that decided it. It was his eighteenth season with the club.
The second one came faster and he had far more to do with it. On 31 May 2026, again in Ahmedabad and again against the home side, RCB chased down Gujarat Titans’ 155 for 8 with twelve balls to spare. Kohli held the innings together with 75 not out from 42 balls and finished the match with a six in the 18th over. Rajat Patidar’s side became only the third in IPL history to successfully defend the title.
Kohli’s four ICC titles
Kohli has won every ICC trophy available to a men’s player: the Under-19 World Cup, the 50-over World Cup, the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup.
| Tournament | Year | Kohli’s part in it |
| U19 Cricket World Cup | 2008 | Captain; 235 runs in six games in Malaysia |
| ICC Cricket World Cup | 2011 | 282 runs in nine matches, including a century |
| ICC Champions Trophy | 2013 | 176 runs in five games; 43 off 34 in the final |
| ICC T20 World Cup | 2024 | 76 off 59 and player of the match in the final |
| ICC Champions Trophy | 2025 | Second Champions Trophy; India beat New Zealand in Dubai |
He completed the set in Barbados on 29 June 2024, when India beat South Africa by seven runs at Kensington Oval. His 76 from 59 balls built the 176 for 7 that India defended, and he was named player of the match. He retired from T20 internationals immediately afterwards.
On the “first player to win all four” claim, which needs a qualifier. Yuvraj Singh reached the same set of four in 2011 — U19 World Cup in 2000, Champions Trophy in 2002, T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-over World Cup in 2011. But the 2002 Champions Trophy final in Colombo was washed out on two consecutive days, and India and Sri Lanka were declared joint winners. That shared trophy is the whole reason Kohli’s 2024 completion gets described as the first outright one. Worth knowing before repeating the headline version.
The Champions Trophy came round again in March 2025 and India won it in Dubai, beating New Zealand by four wickets with an over to spare. Kohli’s own final was brief — lbw to Michael Bracewell for 1, with Rohit Sharma’s 76 taking the player-of-the-match award — but it is a second Champions Trophy on his list, and India’s third overall.
The one trophy Kohli will never win
The World Test Championship. Older versions of this page put it as an open question and looked forward to him winning it in 2025. That is settled now, and not in his favour.
India reached the first two WTC finals and lost both — to New Zealand at Southampton in 2021 and to Australia at The Oval in 2023, the second of those with Kohli in the side. They then finished third in the 2023-25 league table, behind South Africa and Australia, so there was no third final to play in. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on 12 May 2025, which closes the door for good: the mace goes to the winner of a Test tournament, and he will not play another Test.
He does have the trophy’s predecessor. Until 2019 the mace went to whichever side topped the Test rankings on the 1 April cut-off, and India held it in 2017, 2018 and 2019 with Kohli as captain — three of India’s five. The full ICC Test mace winners list covers how the award changed.
Kohli’s bilateral and continental trophies
Border-Gavaskar Trophy, six times. India held it across 2010-11, 2012-13, 2016-17, 2018-19, 2020-21 and 2022-23. Kohli captained the 2016-17 and 2018-19 wins outright; he led the first Test of the 2020-21 tour before going home on paternity leave and Ajinkya Rahane took the side through the rest, and by 2022-23 Rohit Sharma had the Test captaincy. The two away wins in Australia, in 2018-19 and 2020-21, are the ones that carry the most weight.
Anthony de Mello Trophy, twice. India’s prize for home Test series against England, won in 2016-17 and 2020-21.
Asia Cup, three times. 2010 and 2016, then the 2023 edition in Sri Lanka.
How many trophies has Virat Kohli won?
Counting the table above, twenty-one titles across ICC events, continental and bilateral trophies and the IPL. The four ICC trophies are the ones that define the collection; the IPL pair are the ones that took longest; and the World Test Championship is the one that is now out of reach.
