Virat Kohli, name any cricket record and bet on this superstar, as this ever-shining star has clinched record after record. If we just talk about the IPL, he has broken many records, from the most runs in IPL history to the most runs in a single IPL season to the most centuries in IPL history. We know, everyone is aware, that Kohli will never leave the RCB franchise. Since the IPL’s inception, he has been part of the team, starting as a youngster and now playing as a legend.
But imagine which team would go after this 35-year-old legend if he were in the auction. How many teams would break the bank for him? Possibly many, but there is few specific teams that could do everything to get him. With the IPL 2025 mega auction coming up, let’s assume, which team might go after him, if Virat Kohli goes under the hammer.
Teams that could buy Virat Kohli If he goes into the IPL mega auction
Delhi Capitals
There is no doubt that this Delhi boy could benefit the Delhi Capitals. With 8,000 runs to his name, DC will do anything to get this player, even knowing that Virat Kohli alone may not be the future for the team over the next 5-6 years. With the IPL 2025 mega auction approaching and many players expected to be released, there are rumors that David Warner could also be released, creating a vacancy. Since Kohli now opens in T20s, DC may break the bank to fill that spot and could pay a huge amount to secure this legendary player.
Mumbai Indians
Now, when it comes to one more team, although Virat Kohli hasn’t tasted IPL success with his current team, one team with five IPL trophies could pursue him. In the last two to three years, there has been some inconsistency, as we have witnessed with the duo of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma, who have not consistently provided strong starts for Mumbai Indians, If we think further, imagine seeing see the India T20I World Cup 2024 openers—Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma—playing together and opening the innings for the Mi team and there is no question that kohli could e the vlaiubale mar It is possible that this team might consider Kohli as a key addition.
Gujarat Titans
One of the newer teams in the IPL, though certainly impressive, failed to achieve big results in IPL 2024. This team will need to rebuild, and if Virat Kohli enters the auction, the IPL 2022 winners may jump at the chance to add this former India captain to their squad. GT needs experienced names, especially in batting and leadership. With Hardik Pandya gone, all eyes are on Shubman Gill. However, this prince of batting could benefit from learning from the king of batting, not only in terms of stroke play but also in how to lead the team. It could be an amazing addition if GT decides to splurge on Virat Kohli.
