The current Indian captain Virat Kohli has become one of the best batsmen in modern cricket. He often compared to Sir Vivian Richards and Sachin Tendulkar for his run-making spree. However, his path to fame was not always a cakewalk as he faced many rejections before he became a superstar. During an online session with the students, he shared one of the moments where he cried all night for not being selected on the state team.
The 32-year-old is currently enjoying her time with her better half and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma while being detained due to coronavirus outbreak. And, he is very socially active on various social media platforms to spend his time away from the game.
Virat Kohli shares his personal life experience with students.
In a heartfelt gesture, on Tuesday, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, also known as “Virushka,” talked about the ups and downs of their lives and careers. They also shared the idea of how to be inspired.
Kohli said the state team once rejected him. He said he cried all night until about 3 am and couldn’t believe the fact that the selectors hadn’t picked him up. The current Indian captain also performed well. However, he failed to enter the team.
Soon after, he went back to his coach and read that the Delhi rabbi had asked him the reason behind the rejection as he was clueless about his performance. However, Virat Kohli said his passion and commitment helped him regain his motivation for a better show than the previous one.
“I was rejected for the first time in the state selections. I remember it was late at night, and I cried. When you have passion and commitment, that motivation comes back to you,” said the 31-year-old.
