The mega auction will take place ahead of the IPL 2025, and Pietersen believes that Kohli should replace his club in order to win the championship after 17 failed seasons. In fact, Pietersen stated that Kohli's origins in Delhi will help him settle in the city more easily. He commented that DC, who are yet to play in the IPL, are as desperate for the championship as RCB are. Kevin Pietersen, former captain of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has encouraged Virat Kohli to join the Delhi Capitals (DC) in order to finally enjoy victory in the Indian Premier League. The mega auction will take place ahead of the IPL 2025, and Pietersen believes that Kohli should replace his club in order to win the championship after 17 failed seasons.
Following the match, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen indicated that Kohli might want to consider relocating to another team to achieve his desire of winning an IPL trophy. In fact, Pietersen stated that Kohli's origins in Delhi will help him settle in the city more easily. He joked that DC, who have yet to appear in the IPL, are just as desperate for the championship as RCB. "I believe the answer should be Delhi. Virat needs to go to Delhi. Virat may go away and stay at home the majority of the time; I know he has a home in Delhi. He has a young family. He can stay there for longer periods of time. He is from Delhi. Why can't he go back?
"Delhi is as desperate as Bengaluru," Pietersen claimed after RCB lost by four wickets to RR in the IPL 2024 Eliminator. Pietersen cited the instances of football greats who transferred teams to win titles. Following a disagreement with Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham quit Manchester United FC to join Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo followed suit in 2009, although it was more because he wanted to show himself with Los Blancos. Harry Kane recently joined Bayern Munich following multiple trophyless seasons with Tottenham Hotspur. "I think it's about time Virat gave it some serious attention. "Beckham left, Ronaldo left, Messi left, and Harry Kane just left Spurs and went to Bayern Munich," Pietersen remarked in the aftermath of the defeat.
