Virat Kohli is known as one of the cricket legends. Recently, he gave a powerful piece of advice to young net bowlers, proving he is King Kohli for a reason.
Famous Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli, who is a man of few words, went on to give a piece of advice to net bowlers. The cricketer is training in Vadodara ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand. Amidst it, we got a glimpse of Virat's leadership skills, which show his evolution and leadership without making a big deal about it.
A video of Virat surfaced on the internet from his training session at the Kotambi Stadium. In the clip, Virat shared a pep talk with a local net bowler before signing a cricket ball for him. Fans loved how calmly the legendary cricketer advised the bowler. The advice showed another grounded side of Kohli, which often gets overlooked. Giving a few experiences from his journey, Virat shared with the local net bowler that even if you get hit, it's okay, but you should have the conviction that you are delivering the ball which you want to and not the one which the batsman wants you to deliver. He said:
"Agar maar padh bhi jaati hai to koi baat nahi, par conviction se ki main wo ball daal raha hu jo mujhe daalna hai, main wo ball nahi daal raha jo batsman mujhse dalwa raha hai."
Netizens quckily reacted to Virat's adorable moment with the net bowler. One user wrote, "Kuch log bolte hai Virat Kohli is egoistic, selfish, unapproachable and won’t give time to youngsters. See how he's spending time with young bowlers and giving them bowling tips. Whatever I get from Virat Kohli Sir, I give it full time but jealous people make false accusations. I heard he arrived alone for practice at 3 o'clock. People like Ajit Agarkar say "non-committal." Another user commented, "Where are people who say youth is not happy with Kohli?" A third one penned, "This is called an experienced player".
For the unversed, Virat is working extremely hard and seems to be in his powerful form during the ODI series. He has been named Player of the Series during India's recent tour of South Africa. Last month, Virat also returned to domestic cricket after 15 years and played for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He scored 131 against Andhra Pradesh and 77 against a match with Gujarat. It showed how in control he is of his game.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli relocated from India to the United Kingdom to lead a more peaceful life, away from the media glare and constant headlines. Another key factor was to give their two children, Vamika and Akaay, a normal life and allow them to enjoy their childhood without the celebrity status. According to a report in The Telegraph, Virat, who is now based in London with his wife, Anushka Sharma and their two children, Vamika and Akaay, has chosen to live a quiet life of anonymity miles away from the cricket field, he once ruled. Virat craves a private life away from cricket, which he loves dearly.
