Virat Kohli: Ishant Sharma – Everyone speaks about Virat Kohli’s character when he scored a match-winning knock for Delhi in Ranji cricket after his father passed away. While it has been over a decade, Kohli’s India and Delhi teammate Ishant Sharma has revealed that the teenager was alone and said by the unexpected news. However, Kohli was determined to not let his emotions take over and helped Delhi win the game.
Ishant Sharma said, “The day Virat Kohli’s father passed away, he was alone & sad, didn’t knew how to react but then he batted & won the game when he was just 17 years – till today I don’t understand how, if that happens to me, I would not have been gone to ground”. [BeerBiceps YT]
