Virat Kohli gave statement on being called ‘foreign player’

Actually, these days Kohli lives in London with his family and often comes to India just before a series or tournament and then returns to London. For this reason, memes are often made about him on social media and after his shift to London, some people sarcastically call him a ‘foreign player’. Meanwhile, Kohli has answered these things in a video with RCB.

In the video, Mr. Nags jokingly asks Kohli, “People are saying that this season RCB is playing with 5 foreign players. I don’t understand what they are saying?” Hearing this, Kohli first laughs and then replies jokingly, “I don’t know why you are asking me, ask the foreign players. I am not a foreign player.” He further asked the host himself, “Do I look like a foreign player?” To which the host also laughed and said, “Absolutely not!”
