Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Pietersen] took to a live session on Instagram to talk about the current events. This was a much needed interactive session given how the situation globally is becoming grim by the day. VIRAT KOHLI AND KEVIN PIETERSEN INDULGE IN A SERIES OF DISCUSSION During the session, Virat Kohli and Pietersen discussed topics which went beyond the realms of Coronavirus. One of the bigger reveals is the nickname that MS Dhoni gave to Virat Kohli. According to the session, Virat Kohli reveals that everyone in the team calls him ?Cheeku?. In fact, Kohli says that this nickname was first used by the former skipper while being behind the stumps. Following this, he says that now no one on the team refers to him as Virat anymore. He is either referred to as Cheeku or Kohli. Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/42E514D4-E5DF-4541-8D74-115398F6F5ED.png] The first time that anyone referred to him as Cheeku was Ajit Chaudhary. He was Virat Kohli?s coach during his days of playing on state level. The reason for this were his long ears and a haircut. During times like these when the whole world is under a lockdown, these interactions make things better for both the audience and the players. However, while Virat Kohli does this session, he even asked the citizens to stay indoors in a previous video. This is the only way to battle the Coronavirus outbreak [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/coronavirus-news-2/amp/]. PLAYERS GLOBALLY ARE DOING THEIR BIT TO FIGHT COVID-19 Not only is Virat Kohli doing his bit, there are other players who are doing the same. It is important that all celebrities and other powers come together to help fight the battle against Coronavirus. For example, Rohit Sharma made a donation of INR 80 lakhs. Next, Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan donated 4,000 masks. Furthermore, Jos Buttler put his 2019 World Cup finals jersey up for auction. COVID-19 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/cricket-news-rohit-sharma-makes-a-handsome-contribution-of-80-lakhs-to-fight-covid-19/] Right now, it is very important that everyone remains indoors. Social distancing and halting physical contact is the only way to fight this virus. 

Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen discuss several factors during their live session. In fact, they even discuss Kohli's nickname "Cheeku".

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
