Novak Djokovic’s praise for Virat Kohli

Novak Djokovic and Virat Kohli: After cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli has made a distinct identity for himself in the world of cricket. Kohli’s fans are present in every corner. Many celebrities have admitted that they started watching cricket because of Virat Kohli. Now the name of great tennis player Novak Djokovic has also been added to this list.

“Virat Kohli is the person who inspired me to watch cricket. He is my good friend and I respect him a lot. I hope that when I come to India, we will enjoy tennis and cricket and celebrate sports,” Djokovic said at a recent event.

Djokovic is not the only one who considers Kohli the global face of cricket. Earlier, when the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics was being discussed, Italy’s Olympic champion shooter Niccolo Campriani had also mentioned Kohli’s popularity.

“A strong presence on digital platforms is essential to making sport relevant to youth,” Campriani said. Cricket provides a unique platform in this direction. My friend Virat (Kohli) has 314 million followers on social media, which makes him the third most followed player in the world. That’s more than LeBron James, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods. “This is a huge accomplishment for LA 28.”
