'I Picked Virat Kohli': Vijay Mallya Explains Why RCB Signed Batting Superstar At IPL Auction
Last Updated: Virat Kohli joined Royal Challengers Bengaluru fresh from his exploits at the U19 World Cup and went on to become one the franchise legends. From joining Royal Challengers Bengaluru at his base price of Rs 12 lakh to becoming the franchise's highest paid cricketer, Virat Kohli has had a career to remember. Kohli first caught the attention of cricketing world when he captained India to title win at the U-19 World Cup in 2008 and subsequently landed a contract with RCB before the inaugural IPL season that was held in the same year. Since the U-19 players weren't part of the inaugural auction pool, they were picked through a pre-season draft instead. Former RCB owner Vijay Mallya says that it was him to picked Kohli after being impressed by what the teenager did at the junior world cup. 'I picked Virat," Mallya told Raj Shamani on the latter's YouTube channel. 'There were young cricketers and it was draw by lots. I got to pick and immediately went for Virat." 'Shortly before the selection process, they were playing the U19 world cup, and I was very impressed. So I picked him. And 18 years later, he's still there. He was a young kid that time. Full of energy, great talent and (now) one of the greatest Indian cricketers ever," he added. Little did RCB know that the teenager will become one of the greatest batters to have played the game. Kohli has stayed with RCB since the inaugural season and despite being approached by other franchises, he has stuck with them, He went on to captain the team and led them into the IPL final in 2016 – a season where he smashed a record-breaking 973 runs. RCB though suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the title clash despite being in control of the match. Kohli's dream of winning an IPL trophy with RCB finally came true earlier this week when they beat Punjab Kings by six runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Vijay Mallya reveals why he picked Virat Kohli for RCB: ‘My instinct told me he was special…'
Vijay Mallya, the first owner of the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise, has revealed why he picked Virat Kohli for the inaugural season of the IPL. Kohli has been a key member of the RCB team for 18 years, and his perseverance paid off this year when the franchise finally won the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad on Tuesday for the first time. In a podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani, Mallya revealed that he had bid for three IPL franchises and lost Mumbai Indians to the Ambanis by the narrowest of margins. Mallya eventually bought RCB for $112 million, equivalent to around ₹ 600–700 crore in 2008. 'When I bid for the RCB franchise in 2008, I saw the IPL as a game-changer for Indian cricket. My vision was to create a team that embodied the spirit of Bangalore—vibrant, dynamic, glamorous. I paid $112 million, the second-highest bid, because I believed in the potential. I wanted RCB to be a brand that stood for excellence, not just on the field but off it too. That's why I tied it to Royal Challenge, one of our top-selling liquor brands, to give it that bold identity.' Mallya said on the podcast. Meanwhile, Mallya, while sharing the story of picking Kohli for RCB, said, "I handpicked players who could make RCB a powerhouse. My biggest pride was spotting Virat Kohli, a youngster from the Under-19 World Cup team. My inner instinct told me he was special, and I bid for him. Getting Rahul Dravid as our icon player was a no-brainer—he was Bangalore's pride. We also brought in global stars like Jacques Kallis, Anil Kumble, and Zaheer Khan. I wanted a mix of local heroes and international flair. My dream was to bring the IPL trophy to Bangalore, and I built the team with that goal," Mallya revealed on the podcast with Raj Shamani. "Shortly before the actual selection process, they were playing the U-19 World Cup, and I was very impressed with him. So, I picked him, and it's wonderful, 18 years later, he is still there. He was a young kid at that time when I got him, but you know, full of energy, great talent, and you know, one of the greatest Indian cricketers ever," Mallya added.
