Blake expresses his admiration for Team India star Virat Kohli

The legendary sprinter had earlier also expressed his interest to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore during the IPL 2019, to which the franchise replied," We heard you're interested, Yohan Blake. If you bowl as fast as you run, you already have a place reserved in our team."

In the past, Blake expressed his desire to play for the West Indies national cricket team as well. He had also revealed Virat Kohli to be his favorite cricketer and lauded the latter's captaincy skills during England's tour of India in 2021.

"What I really love about Team India is that Virat Kohli doesn't find any excuses. That's what I really love about his captaincy, he took the blame for everything. He said the bowlers didn't find the right areas, the batsmen were not as consistent. He said 'we got to go back to the drawing board and come back'. And that's what I love about Virat Kohli and his captaincy,” Yohan Blake said in February 2021.
