“I couldn’t look up because I was just not used to being called my name for two months,” Virat Kohli would say about how it took time to get used to the crowd chants after a two-month break out of the country for the birth of his second child. “I was telling the guys that when we came back, the voices back home felt that much louder. And then immediately you hear these loud noises and then you’re back in it all again.”
Then, he would say something that brought the house down at the Chinnaswamy stadium. “I know my name is nowadays quite attached to just promoting the game in many parts of the world when it comes to T20 cricket. But, I’ve still got it, I guess,” Kohli would say with his face creasing with a big smile.
