'Kings of India' - Fans react as Sunil Chhetri opens up about his bond with Virat Kohli

Indian Football team’s skipper and veteran international player, Sunil Chhetri has recently opened up about his bond with the former Indian cricket team’s skipper Virat Kohli. Notably, Chhetri and Virat have been seen sharing some funny banters on social media. Apart from that, both the greats of their respective games were also seen together when Chhetri joined RCB for a few days in the Indian Premier League 2023.

"Virat Kohli and I share a lot of laughter. I've had a lot of deep and meaningful chats with him. We share a lot of jokes and funny stuff,” said Chhetri to Indian Super League.

"I have had a lot of deep and meaningful chats. It’s not like we talk 24×7 every day. There are phases when we don’t talk for months but the best part is that he understands and so do I. But, we catch up exactly from where we left it. The few times when I have felt the heat of who I am and the need to perform and the few times that he has felt the heat of who he is and the need to perform, is exactly when we have chatted. He understands that not everyone can understand what we are going through and it just hits the right note,” he added.

This statement from Chhetri about the Indian cricket veteran and modern-day batting great drew a lot of interesting reactions on social media. The fans immediately took to Twitter and came up with various responses for both Indian sporting legends.

Well, it's nice to know Sunil Chhetri and Virat Kohli have a strong bond, but I hope their chats aren't as deep as a cricket pitch. Let's just hope the jokes they share are as good as their game.
