Kohli at Kotla: Cricket icon's mere presence inspires both teammates and opponents

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi, With his aura and intensity, Virat Kohli could bend anything to his will. Kohli at Kotla: Cricket icon's mere presence inspires both teammates and opponents When he saw the long queue of spectators jostling to enter the stadium much before the first ball was delivered in Kohli's comeback game in domestic red-ball cricket, his Delhi teammate Navdeep Saini was convinced that this was not going to be just another first-class match. Saini said that for most of the team's young players who have grown up idolising Kohli and watching his exploits on TV, sharing the space with the maestro was a "different thing" altogether. Then his effort, whenever he is batting, fielding or in gym, his intensity, it is always 110 percent," Saini said at the end of first day's play between Delhi and Railways. "Generally when we play Ranji Trophy match we don't see this kind of crowd, so it feels pretty good when a big player comes and plays with you.
