Virat Kohli Reveals His Superstition In a chat with Pep Guardiola
Interestingly during the chat, Kohli also revealed a unique superstition that he follows while batting. This was a first as Kohli previously has rarely discussed his superstitions. Kohli who is a big sneakerhead feels that he gets in the zone when we wear classic white shoes while performing on the field.
“I love playing in white shoes, batting especially. It’s more of a superstition for me. When I bat, it’s my zone and time to be absolutely close to myself and perform,” Kohli told Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola during the live session.

“When I was playing, all the shoes were black. Now to find a black boot is so difficult. One day when I wore red boots, my mentor and the best manager Johan Cruyff saw it and made me change back into black boots”, said Guardiola when he was asked about his superstitions.
