Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batter Virat Kohli has been in scintillating form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Despite RCB’s struggles with only three wins in 10 matches, Kohli has been a beacon of consistency, amassing 500 runs in 10 innings.
Kohli’s dedication to fitness and cricket is well-known, but he also possesses a fun-loving personality. Recently, at an event, Kohli was asked about his potential career path if he hadn’t pursued cricket.
“Honestly, I never thought about it,” Kohli admitted. “I didn’t know how to run a business, but now I’m learning. If I had started a business without cricket, I would have been taken advantage of.”
Kohli has indeed ventured into business, investing in brands such as Rage Coffee, Chisel fitness center, WROGN menswear, and Blue Tribe alongside his wife, Anushka Sharma.
Despite his impressive IPL season, Kohli has faced criticism for his strike rate. However, he remains unfazed.
“Those who talk about my strike rate and my spin-bowling skills are the ones who love to talk,” Kohli said. “For me, it’s all about winning the game. I’ve been doing this for 15 years for a reason.”
“I’m not sure if those who haven’t been in my position can truly understand the game,” he added. “I’m just doing my job. People can have their own opinions, but I’m focused on my team’s success.”
Kohli’s resilience and determination have made him one of the most respected and successful cricketers in the world. His ability to perform under pressure and his unwavering commitment to his craft continue to inspire fans and fellow players alike.
