Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has revealed that he was approached by a few IPL Franchises a few times in the past to put himself in the auction but he preferred to stay with RCB. He is the only cricketer to have played for one franchises since the IPL started in 2008.
“I’ve been approached a few times as well — to come into the auction somehow — I have thought about it,” said Kohli in a RCB podcast.
“At the end of the day, a person lives a certain number of years, and then you die and life moves on. There have been many great players who have won trophies and things like that but no one addresses you like that.
“If you are a good person, people like you and if you are a bad guy, they stay away from you. Eventually, that’s what life is all about.”
“The loyalty with RCB, like how I follow my life, is far greater than five people saying you’ve finally won the IPL with XYZ. You feel good for five minutes and then the sixth minute you could be miserable with some other issue in life.
“What this franchise has given to me in the first three years, and believed in me, is the most special thing. There were many teams who had the opportunity. They didn’t back me and they didn’t believe in me.” he added.
What is @imVKohli’s first memory of joining RCB? What was that funny incident that happened to him in year 1 of the IPL as a 19-year old?
