I would definitely not rule this year out of my life: Virat Kohli

The battle for Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 is underway, and with just four teams remaining in the tournament, everyone’s surely ready for a rollercoaster ride.

Our skipper, Virat Kohli turned a year older yesterday. On his 32nd birthday, Kohli expressed how happy he is for him and his wife Anushka Sharma, who are expecting their first child.

Speaking on Inside RCB, a show on Star Sports, the 32-year-old told Jatin Sapru, “I would definitely not rule out this year out of my life. Yes, it’s been a difficult year for everyone. But it’s been a lot of blessing for us as well. Me and Anushka are entering a new phase of our lives.”

“We all are also getting to do what love to do. Still giving a lot of happiness to people back home. Lifting the mood of the whole nation and all the cricketing nations that have been watching the IPL. It’s been such an amazing tournament. It’s such a close tournament, no wonder. Maybe, that is what God wants. God wants it to be that exciting that people forget all their sorrows.”

Dream11 IPL 2020 had the most exhilarating league stage ever.

“It’s amazing that this has never happened before and this has happened after such a difficult phase for everyone that you have the most exciting IPL league stage ever.”

On birthday celebrations

“It’s time we move beyond the birthday wishes that I want. I am personally someone who does not enjoy birthday celebrations. I just like to have time with Anushka or with families around if we are back home. Very simple stuff."

The focus shall always remain on playing the best brand of cricket. 

“I would say, one thing what AB said before heading into what will be a big week for us. We are thinking of playing a brand of cricket that people have loved over the years for RCB - and definitely, a time where we are not going to take any step backwards. It will be positive and upfront."
