IPL 2022 auction: Virat Kohli REVEALS how he reacted after RCB bought him for Rs 13 lakhs in 2008 – WATCH

Kohli was leading the India U-19 team in the World Cup in Malaysia when the draft process for the inaugural edition of the IPL took place in 2008.  

Ahead of the upcoming IPL 2022 auction, which is set to take place in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13, former India skipper Virat Kohli has revealed that he simply could not fathom the amount he got in the Indian Premier League (IPL) draft in 2008 where he was picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Unlike the present scenario where Under-19 cricketers are allowed to take part in IPL auction, earlier uncapped players were used to get picked via drafts. As per the earlier IPL draft policy, every franchise had the option of picking two U-19 players and there was a salary cap set for them.
