“He had a tremendous self-belief that he can do anything” - Rajkumar Sharma on Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has enjoyed a great season so far with the bat. He is currently in the sixth spot in the race for the Orange Cap with 364 runs in nine matches. Ahead of this clash, RCB had an interaction with Rajkumar Sharma in their latest episode of RCB Bold Diaries. During that interaction, he spoke about the fearless attitude of Kohli since his starting days.
Sharma said: “On May 30, 1998, he came to me with his brother and father. Within a few days, we could see that he was different from others, a very active and naughty guy. He was determined, dedicated and wanted to dominate from the first day. He had a tremendous self-belief that he can do anything”.
“Junior teammates could never get Virat out so he came to me and said he wanted to play in the senior group. Despite my hesitation, he kept insisting and then I decided to give him a chance. I was also irritated but he played well. Though he once got hit on the chest, he told his mother I’ll play with seniors only come what may. He’s special and has god-gifted talent. He has been playing bold from a very young age,” Rajkumar Sharma concluded.
