Virender Sehwag Finally Breaks Silence On Why Delhi Didn't Sign Virat Kohli In 2008: "Our Thinking..."
Virender Sehwag has lifted the lid on the Delhi Daredevils' (now Delhi Capitals) decision of not buying Virat Kohli during the first-ever Indian Premier League (IPL) draft in 2008. Sehwag was the first-ever captain of the franchise after being signed as an "icon player" ahead of the inaugural season. The franchise had the opportunity to sign a local player in Kohli, but decided to go for left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan instead. In the end, Kohli was picked by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and the rest as they say is history.
