“Story Of Virat Kohli Really Heart Touching
Read And Share ):
One night during December
2006,
when Virat Kohli was with
Delhi in Karnataka for his debut Ranji
Season
he got a call at 3 am to know
that his
father Prem Kohli has died
afterbeing on the bed for a month due to
a
brain stroke.
At that moment Virat was the
overnight batsman for Delhi.
He was in two minds whether to play
or not
and called his coach who was
in
Australia.
His coach advised
him to play as such chances does not
come
everyday and it is difficult to
make it
to the team. He went on to
make 90 (on which he got a wrong
decision) in
that innings and saved the
follow on
for his team.
He went straight
to his dad’s funeral after that innings
and
didnt take part in the rest of
the
match.
He was only 18 at that time and even
the Karnataka players couldn’t
resist
themselves from applauding
him for
his commitment and mental strength
His mom’s words on this
incident-
“Virat changed a bit after that
day.
Overnight he became a much more
matured person. He took
every match
seriously. He hated being on the
bench. It’s as if his life hinged
totally on cricket after that day. Now,
he looked like he was chasing
his
father’s dream which was his
own
too.
” A big salute to Virat Kohli for his
commitment towards the Game”
