"If I could be invisible, I would spend the entire day in a girl's room" - 5 of Virat Kohli's statements that you won't believe are true
Virat Kohli is one of the best cricketers in the modern era of the sport. He has scored over 20,000 runs across all formats of international cricket, and is also the No. 1 batter on the all-time IPL leaderboard with more than 6,000 runs to his name.
Kohli came into the limelight after helping India win the ICC U-19 World Cup back in 2008. Soon after, he earned an IPL deal from the Royal Challengers Bangalore and made his international debut at the senior level too in no time.
Thanks to his consistent performances, good looks and lifestyle off the field, he has earned millions of fans. While he rarely participates in candid interviews these days, there was a time when he would make silly comments during his chats with the media.
On that note, we look back at five comments made by a young Kohli that you would not believe are true:
