NDTV
Virat Kohli has been with RCB since his started his IPL career. Having not won a trophy yet, the India star admitted that he did consider leaving the franchise.
One of the greatest cricketers of all time, Virat Kohli has won numerous accolades in his distinguished cricketing career. But, it's the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy that has continued to evade him. Despite possessing a formidable squad on multiple occasions, RCB have only managed to go as far as the final of the event. When Virat Kohli was asked if he ever considered joining another franchise, thinking the 'grass was greener' on the other side, he answered in affirmative.
In a chat with RCB in 2022, Kohli revealed how multiple franchises approached him to put his name in the auction. But, he decided to remain loyal to the Bengaluru franchise.
"To be very honest I thought about it. Yes, I won't shy away from it and I have been approached many times as well to come into the auction somehow, put my name there and stuff.
"And then I thought about it, I was like at the end of the day everyone has X numbers of years that they live and then you die and life moves on. There would have been many great people who won trophies but no one addresses you like that. No one addresses you in the room like 'Oh he's an IPL champion or he's a World Cup champion.
"It's like if you are a good person, people like you, if you're a bad guy, they just stay away from you and eventually that's what life is all about," Kohli explained the mindset behind his decision to stay put at RCB.
