Virat Kohli wishes Under 17 Indian World Cup Squad ahead of their campaign

It is a well-renowned fact that India’s all-format captain, Virat Kohli, is an ardent fan of the most popular game in the world, i.e., soccer. The image of Kohli flaunting his dribbling along with fellow RCBian KL Rahul is a common sight during India’s practice sessions.

It was only recently that his best mate in the Indian squad, KL Rahul uploaded a picture of him with Kolhi by captioning,”Ballers For Life @virat.kohli ? #FootyBusiness #WarmUp #Training #CelebrityClasico #AllHeartFC”
