The Delhi cricketer then topped it off with a half-century (55 off 46). While the game moved on, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen was stuck at that visual of Kohli touching his childhood coach’s feet on meetup. The former cricketer turned commentator was so moved that he posted an interesting wish, seeking the thoughts of the fans on the same.
Pietersen asked if it is possible to make Virat Kohli play for Delhi Capitals as it would be the former India captain’s home team. “The wonderful footage of Virat saying hello to his childhood coach made me think…BRING VIRAT HOME! Delhi should make a huge transfer play and bring VIRAT back home from next season. Beckham, Ronaldo, Messi etc all moved in their career…Thoughts?” posted Pietersen on Twitter.
The comment section was soon filled with responses with most of the fans turning down this wish cum though from the Englishman.

Will Virat Kohli ever move out of RCB?
As much as Kevin Pietersen wishes, moving Virat Kohli out of the Bangalore-based franchise is a near-to-impossible task. Time and again Kohli has said that he will stay loyal to RCB forever as the franchise showed faith in him initially.
“I don’t see myself playing anywhere else. Loyalty matters more to me than worldly pleasures. I would be in the RCB till the last day I play in the IPL,” had said Kohli while stepping down from RCB captaincy.
