New Delhi: The encouraging conversation between renowned Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and the son of his former teammate has come to light. The young boy was given valuable advice from Kohli, who is currently in New Delhi for the concluding phase of the Ranji Trophy league. Kohli is set to compete in Delhi’s Ranji match against Railways, beginning on January 30, and he took part in his initial training session with the team on Tuesday.
During a training session for the Ranji Trophy in Delhi, a young boy named Kabir, the son of one of Kohli’s former teammates from age-group cricket, had the opportunity to engage with the Indian cricket star.

Kabir inquired of Kohli about the requirements to become an international cricketer. Kohli shared valuable insights with the young player.
“A lot of hard work. Your father should not tell you to practice or train. You should yourself say every morning that you want to go to practice. If someone practices for an hour, you do it for two hours. That is the only way,” Kohli said while speaking to Kabir.
“If someone scores a 50, you score a 100, and if someone scores a 100, you score a 200. Jo benchmark hai us se double (Whatever the benchmark is, you should do double of it),” Kohli added. Watch the video here:
In a similar manner to Rishabh Pant’s decision in the previous game against Saurashtra, Kohli chose not to captain Delhi in their recent Ranji home match against Railways, preferring to allow Ayush Badoni to maintain his role as team leader.
The BCCI and JioCinema, the domestic broadcasters, have opted to live-stream the match due to the significant interest from fans generated by Kohli’s participation.
Typically, the BCCI features one main match that is broadcast on both television and streaming platforms. In this round, the highlighted game is between Karnataka and Haryana, with KL Rahul being the key player to watch.
