'If Virat wants to win the trophy, he should leave RCB and join this team…' Advice of the legendary cricketer

Kevin Pietersen: Everyone knows how loyal Virat Kohli is to his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. The franchise first gave him a chance in the year 2008. He has been with RCB for 17 years. But he never got a single trophy. Although Kohli never thought of leaving the franchise, former England captain Kevin Pietersen says that Kohli deserves the IPL trophy, if he wants to win the trophy then he will have to leave RCB. Meanwhile, Pietersen also cited examples of some foreign footballers who found success after leaving their clubs.

Kevin Pietersen said, I have said it before and I will say it again, in another game great players have left the team in search of glory. When Virat Kohli again tried so hard to win the Orange Cap and then gave up so much and the franchise again failed. I understand the team's brand and the professional value it brings to the team. But Virat Kohli deserves the trophy. He deserves to play in this team that can help them win trophies.

The former England captain further said, “I really think it should be Delhi Capitals.” Delhi is where Virat wants to go. Virat can go away and stay at home most of the time, I know he has a house in Delhi. He has a young family. He can spend more time there. He is a Delhi young man, why can't he go back. Delhi is as desperate as Bengaluru. I think it's time now for Virat to think long term. Beckham is gone, Ronaldo is gone, Messi is gone, Harry Kane left Spurs for Bayern Munich.

Like every year, this year too Virat Kohli put in all his effort to make RCB win the title. He is the highest run scorer in IPL 2024 so far with 741 runs. Apart from him, no batsman has been able to cross the score of 600 runs so far. It seems difficult for any batsman to beat Virat Kohli in the Orange Cap race in the remaining two matches.
