IPL 2024 BIG Update: Virat Kohli plan to leave RCB
Virat Kohli himself has answered the question in the 2022 chat with RCB whether he ever made up his mind to join another IPL team.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Virat Kohli has made many records in the field of cricket and won trophies as well. But not so in the case of IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore, which he captained, has entered the finals but has never won the IPL so far. IPL 2024: Virat Kohli plan to leave RCB.
Virat Kohli himself has answered the question in the 2022 chat with RCB whether he ever made up his mind to join another IPL team. Many IPL franchises were willing to add their names to the auction. But he has decided to stay with the RCB team.
“To be honest, I thought about that. There is no denying it. Many franchisees also contacted me. Then thought about it. At the end of the day, everyone has a certain number of years, lives that many years and then dies, and so on.
There are greats who have won many trophies. But no one addresses him in the room as “Oh, he’s the IPL champion” or he’s the World Cup champion”. If we are a good person people will like us, if we are a bad person people will stay away from us,” Kohli explained why he decided to stay with RCB team.
He recalled the confidence Royal Challengers placed in him when other franchises didn’t have much faith in him. Saying that his wife Anushka Sharma’s opinion is very important to him, Kohli says that he does not care about anyone else’s opinion when it comes to his decisions.
