Virat Kohli Charity Ball to be held in London on June 5

Virat Kohli is not only emanating brilliance on the field but is also doing great things off it too. In early 2013, Kohli started a charity foundation by the name of Virat Kohli Foundation. The foundation has since then organised celebrity football matches to raise funds for the star batsman’s great initiative.

Kohli outlined the focus areas as kids who can’t afford education and can’t play any sport because of lack of money. The Indian skipper’s foundation is now all set to host a charity ball in London. The event will take place at the HAC Ground in England’s capital on June 5. This Charity Ball is expected to be the biggest charity-sports events of this year and the funds raised will be used for the empowerment of the underprivileged in India.

Kohli will attend this event as he will already be in England to lead India in the ICC Champions Trophy. The event will see many present and former stars attending the ball to help one of the greatest sporting names – Virat Kohli – in a noble cause.

Surprise star appearances and a lavish here course gourmet cuisine along with a VIP champagne reception is planned for this noble event. Virat Kohli will also put luxury products and cricket memorabilia under the hammer for a live auction.

Speaking at the event next month the Indian skipper says: “I am honoured and excited that London will be the first international city to host my Foundation’s Charity Ball, in aid of the charitable causes that I hold dear to my heart. The event is a manifestation of my dream to bring about a transformative change in many lives by supporting the underprivileged sections of society. I look forward to joining hands with the public in London to raise a substantial amount.”

The tickets will be hard to get hold of as they are going to be available on the first-come-first-serve basis. Owing to the big stars that are going to be present for this lavish ball, the tickets are priced under the bracket of £1,950 to £2,750 for a table of ten.

The event will, of course, take place after the high-profile encounter between India and Pakistan on a preceding day at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
