Kohli has more often than not, made it a point to take that extra minute to make his fans happy whenever they come with requests of autographs or selfies off the field. One of the most followed cricketers in the country, Kohli, has been a fan favourite across the globe, having been the face of the sport over the years.
Kohli has had a special connection with Bengaluru as has always had the backing of the Royal Challengers Bangalore fans. Kohli has not played for any other franchise apart from RCB and also spoke about ending his career with the Bengaluru-based franchise quite often in the past.
Kohli has been in a great mental space over the last 8-10 months, having found his peak form back. The former India captain had a sensational run in the ODI World Cup in which he scored 765 runs, including 3 hundreds, breaking his idol Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most runs in a single edition of the tournament and surpassing his world record tally of 49 ODI hundreds.
Kohli began the Tes series in South Africa on a good note, chipping in with a crucial 38 in the first innings of the Boxing Day Test as India posted 245 in their first innings, riding on a sensational hundred from KL Rahul.
