Virat Kohli Does a Virtual Time Travel on his Birthday with a Letter to Chiku

Indian captain Virat Kohli is considered as one of the finest players across formats in recent times. One of the most celebrated cricketers, Kohli turns 31 today. On this occasion, he has shown a different side to himself by sharing a letter he wrote to his fifteen-year-old self.

He shared, “life has big things in store for you”, but you have to be ready to “grab every opportunity” that comes the way. He then shared the problems that he feels he has at that moment and also they’re not as big as he thinks they are, coming to the realization now at 31 years of age.

In that letter, he urges a young Virat Kohli to follow his dreams and also asked not to be afraid of taking on any challenge.

Virat Kohli ends the letter with a cheeky “savour those parathas, buddy”.?

However, the Indian captain hasn’t been a part of the ongoing?three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against Bangladesh.?India lost the opening match to Bangladesh in the shortest format. In the absence of Kohli, the Indian batting line-up failed to step up at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi despite having the experienced players like Rohit Sharma, the stand-in captain, KL Rahul etc.

Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim played a crucial knock to lead the side to a historic win.?The second T20I will be played on November 7 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot while the third and final match is scheduled to be played on November 10 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.

Kohli will return on the cricket field when India take on Bangladesh for a two-match Test series which will start from November 14 in Indore. Currently, India are at the number one-ranked in the list in the longer format of the game. He recently led India?to a clean sweep victory over the West Indies in the West Indies and South Africa at home as well.

With the victory over South Africa, India registered their 11th consecutive Test series win at home and remained at the top of the ICC Test Championship points table.
