Virat Kohli has said that being picked by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was an impactful moment in his life, which he didn't realise back then. Virat has been a part of RCB since 2008 and became a full-time captain in 2013, after replacing Daniel Vettori. He announced that he will not be the captain of the team after IPL 2021. "I was in Malaysia for the (U-19) World Cup, and I remember the day when the drafts were happening. The Under-19 dynamic was a little different because we rightly had a huge pay gap. That was the only time there was cap on how much can a player be picked for if you have not played for India. Even that moment, for players like us, was so amazing because when they revealed the amount we got picked for, we are surprised and couldn't believe it," Kohli said on an RCB podcast. "Delhi team, which was initially interested in me, later went for Pradeep Sangwan, as their dynamic of the squad demanded for a left-arm seamer and our best during the under-19 campaign. "So since Delhi decided to strengthen their bowling department, RCB picked me and it was such an impactful moment in my life, which I didn't realise then. But when I look back, things would have been very different to what they are now. I would not have it any other way than this," he added.
