Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and Virat Kohli have played a lot of cricket together. They both were part of the ICC ODI World Cup 2011 where India lifted the trophy under the captaincy of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. However, recently, Yuvraj Singh has once again given a controversial statement and it is gaining the limelight of the media.
The left-handed cricketer has recently said that he does not meet Kohli as the star batter is very busy these days. While having a conversation in the TRS Podcast, Yuvraj said, “Not Really. I don’t disturb him as he is busy. Young Virat Kohli’s name was Cheeku. Today’s Cheeku is Virat Kohli, there’s a big difference.”
In the same podcast, Yuvraj intriguingly discussed his friendship with Dhoni, emphasizing that while they were good friends off the field, their primary focus was always on giving their best for Team India. Yuvraj for his part had wonderful things to say about Kohli for the kind of batter he is and the way he brought a fitness revolution in Indian cricket.
“We all wanted to become a fit team but when he (Kohli) became captain there was a big difference. He set a benchmark,” Yuvraj said.
Yuvraj Singh said that Virat Kohli is Christiano Ronaldo of Cricket. The former all-rounder said, “He thinks he’s a very good footballer, but I have more skills. He is young, he runs around. He thinks he is Cristiano Ronaldo but he isn’t. In cricket, he is. In terms of fitness, it matches (their mentality), and the focus on the game also.”
