Only one franchise came to me, said ‘can you please come to the auction?’, I said..’: Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore have been associated with each other since the inception of the Indian Premier League in 2008. Kohli, who is a 34-year-old Indian cricketing legend, has been representing RCB since the beginning of the league. He had also led the franchise for nine seasons between 2013-2021. Though he could not win the trophy for the team as a captain, he has produced some remarkable batting performances for the franchise over the years.

Kohli has repeatedly stated that RCB will be his only franchise in the IPL. However, he has now revealed that he had approached another franchise during the tournament’s early years in search of a top-order batting spot. During the first three seasons, he mostly batted at no. 5 or 6 for RCB. Unfortunately, the franchise denied him the chance to join their team.
