Bangalore: If Friday night's Centenary celebrations of Bangalore's oldest club, the Bangalore United Cricket Club, stressed on loyalty to one club, with the likes of Rahul Dravid, Roger Binny, Anil Kumble and GR Viswanath (both not BUCC members) having mostly played for only one club throughout their careers, Saturday afternoon played out a similar theme. Here it wasn't a club that was involved but a IPL franchise and the man professing his loyalty was none other than India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli."

'Only one franchise for me'

Having been picked from the U-19 draft for the very first season Kohli was very vocal when he said: "I don't see myself leaving or playing for any other franchise." He was speaking at a function to launch RCB's official app and sitting alongside him were Gary Kirsten and Ashish Nehra, neither of whom will be head coach but will form part of RCB's leadership group, along with Kohli.
