Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) IPL 2024 campaign ended in heartbreak as they succumbed to a four-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator. Despite Virat Kohli's consistent performances, RCB's elusive quest for an IPL title remains unfulfilled.
Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen believes it may be time for Kohli to consider a move to another franchise to fulfill his dream of winning an IPL trophy. Pietersen cited examples of great athletes in other sports who have changed teams to achieve their goals.
"Virat Kohli deserves a trophy. He deserves to play in a team that could help him to get that trophy," Pietersen said.
Pietersen suggested that Kohli should consider joining Delhi Capitals, his hometown team. He drew parallels with sports icons like David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Harry Kane, who switched teams to achieve greater success.
"Delhi is the place where Virat needs to go. He can go away and stay at home most of the time. He has a young family. He can spend more time there. He is a Delhi boy. Why can't he go back?" Pietersen added.
With this victory, Rajasthan Royals advance to Qualifier 2, where they will face Sunrisers Hyderabad for a spot in the IPL 2024 final against Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, RCB and Kohli are left to reflect on yet another season that ended in disappointment, despite flashes of brilliance from their star player.
