Team India superstar Virat Kohli had recently shared an emotional message with his dad, the late Prem Nath Kohli, on Father Day on Sunday, June 15. Virat came to make his debut in 2006 in the field of international cricket and Prem Nath died on December, 19 2006.
On Father’s Day, Virat Kohli shared with his fans via his official Instagram account the life lessons he learned from his father as a child. The legendary cricket player posted an old photo of himself with his father. He revealed that he was instructed to put in a lot of effort to realize his goals rather than depending on short routes. Virat penned:
“He taught me to never rely on shortcuts or influence — because if you truly have it in you, hard work will show it. And if you don’t have the will to work for it, then maybe you don’t deserve it yet.

“When I was offered an easier path once, he refused it for me. With calm conviction, he said, “If you’re good enough, you’ll find your way. And if not, it’s better to know that early.”

The 36-year-old concluded:
“That one moment shaped how I live, work, and show up in the world. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers whose quiet strength becomes our lifelong compass. ❤️

Ravi Shastri says Virat Kohli’s Test retirement could have been handled better
Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has stated that Virat Kohli should have been named as captain of the Indian Test team following the BGT series. It follows his statement that he was disappointed in the manner the batter’s retirement was managed. According to India Today, Shastri stated on Sony Sports:
“It’s when you go, that’s when people will realise how big a player he was. I feel sad that he is gone, the way he’s gone. I think it could have been handled better. There should have been more communication. If I had anything to do with it, I would have made him captain straight away after Australia.”
