“Virat counted money, ate dinner …”: former teammate RCB Star reveals the great transformation

India Pace Ishant Sharma said on Saturday that Virat Kohli’s first days of Delhi Kriket, reflected in the friendship of the friendship with him, he said he would always be “cheeku .. Ishant, who played up to the Indian team under the age of 17 with Kohli, said that the former captain’s image of a super star has been contrary to the person he knew since his childhood. “I think virat kohli (star) is for external people. I can’t see it like that because we played in the U-17s. A childhood friend for me,” he said 434 small doors in 105 tests.

The 36 -year -old child remembered his days in the under -19 installation, where they shared the room, budget and saved travel allowances.

“When we were in the U-19s, we would accept how much money we received. We ate dinner. We used to go to the U-19s, save our stone and take them with us. So, virat kohli is different for me. It is different for me.”

Ishant said that despite the star of Kohli, his vineyards remained brotherly.

“Imagine, your brother has reached such heights. Everyone thinks he’s great. But at the end of the day you’ll see that he’s a person. At the end of the day you spent a lot of time with him. You know him in and out. The two were seen to embrace the field before the last IPL match, and The Moment’s photos were shared online.

Ishant said that his interactions rarely contain speeches about Cricket, but everything was about humor and joke.

“When we meet, we never talk about how we play so many test matches. We never talk about it. We talk about funny jokes. This happens, it happens, look, look at it. Funny jokes,” he said.

“I never felt that he was virat kohli. For us he cheeku. We’ve always seen me like this. He saw me like this. We sleep together and share a room.” Both players made their international exits in the late 2000s and entered the national team just before Sharma Kohli.

He remembered that Kohli gave him information about his first call for India.

“When India’s first output came, the team’s name came … He kicked me and said that your name has come. He said, will you really play for India? My brother, I sleep,” Ishant said.
