Another IPL team approached Virat Kohli. This Is How The RCB Star Reacted.

However, the former India captain was quick to point out that his career plans were not aligned with that team. It’s been incredible. Why I value this partnership and journey with RCB so much is because they supported me heavily during the first three years of the IPL.
Even when the retentions occurred, they stated, We want to retain you. My only response to Ray Jennings at the time was, I want to bat in the top order. I bat at 3 for India and would like to bat at 3′. And they said, ‘Okay, you will bat at 3’. They believed in me when I needed it the most. I was also progressing in my international career, Kohli explained.
Kohli also stated that if the franchise came after him, he would have a clear answer. That is more important to me. I won’t name names, but another franchise I spoke with at the time… they weren’t even interested in listening to me. I was playing lower down the order (5-6) at the time.

‘If I could get a chance to bat at the top of the order somewhere else…’ I thought. Because I had played for India and performed in 2011, the same franchise approached me and asked, ‘Can you please come to the auction?’ ‘No way,’ I said. I will always be with the franchise that supports me, Kohli said in an interview when asked about his other options.
Uthappa was taken aback by the response, but Kohli stated that it was simple. It was, indeed. They immediately denied it. Fair enough, I said.
