Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli has come a long way. Today, he is hailed as one of the greatest batters to have played the game. He has achieved several milestones in his glorious career to be called the modern legend of the game.
Man of words – Virat Kohli
An old video has resurfaced on social media and has been going viral on the internet, that features wicket-keeper Alyssa Healy and her husband-cum-Australian team pacer Mitchell Starc. In the viral video, Healy can be seen talking about her incredible encounter with Virat Kohli over a decade ago.
Healy, who was sitting alongside her teammate Ellyse Perry during the time, revealed that it was Kohli who had approached them suddenly and introduced himself as the ‘next big thing in Indian Cricket’. Healy narrated:
“Ellyse Perry and I were sitting there and this guy wandered over to us, this young Indian guy. He did not introduce himself. He said ‘hello, how are you?’ and then he said ‘I am the next big thing in Indian cricket’,” said Healy. A fan has uploaded the short video on Twitter and deemed Kohli as, “Man of his words.”
Well, the video has gone crazily viral across all social media platforms. Watch the video:
