Virat Kohli, the prominent batsman for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has been in excellent form during this IPL season, despite the team’s disappointing campaign with only three wins in ten matches.
Kohli’s outstanding performances have seen him amass 500 runs in these ten matches, placing him among the top run-scorers of the season. Beyond his cricketing prowess, the 35-year-old is celebrated for his unwavering commitment to fitness and the sport, as well as his affable personality.
Virat Kohli provided a clever reply when asked about his possible alternative Profesion
At a recent event, Kohli fielded a question about what profession he might have pursued if cricket hadn’t been his chosen path.
The RCB star replied, “Pata nahi yarr, shayad business. Honestly, maine kabhi socha nahi. Mujhe bilkul business chalana nahi aata tha, ab thoda sa aata hai. Agar bina cricket ke business karta toh log 200% mujhe bewakuf bana dete.”
“Ab thoda bahut aata hai business karna, bahut dhakke aur dhoke khaake. (I don’t know, maybe business. Honestly, I never thought about it. I never knew how to run a business but now I am slowly learning how to do it.”
“If I would have been running a business without cricket, then 200% everyone would have made a fool out of me. Now, after facing many betrayals and hardships, I am gradually learning.)”
In addition to his cricketing career, Kohli has established himself as a thriving entrepreneur, with investments in various brands such as Rage Coffee, the fitness center Chisel, menswear brand WROGN, and Blue Tribe, in collaboration with his wife, Anushka Sharma.
Despite his strong batting performances in the IPL season, Kohli has come under scrutiny for his strike rate. Following Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s win against Gujarat Titans, Kohli addressed the criticism he has been receiving.
“All the people who talk about [my] strike rate and me not playing spin well are the ones who love to talk about these things. But for me, it is just about winning the game. There’s a reason why you do it for 15 years. Because you do this day in and day out and won games for your team.”
“I am not sure if you haven’t been in that situation, to sit and speak about the game from the box. I don’t think it is the same thing. And I am just doing my job. People can talk about their own ideas and assumption on the game (sic),” he added.
