Reacting to RCB's maiden IPL win, the franchise's former owner Vijay Mallya said he had the "privilege" of picking "legendary" Virat Kohli as a youngster. "It's remarkable...he has stayed with RCB for 18 years," he added. Mallya said he also had the honour of picking Chris Gayle and AB de Villers, who remain an "indelible" part of RCB history.
