Virat Kohli talks about his love for the IPL
The distinguished player for both Team India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Virat Kohli, has shown his appreciation for the Indian Premier League (IPL), pointing to the league’s special capacity to promote player camaraderie. The success of the IPL was highlighted by Kohli, who credited the close relationship between players and spectators.
After choosing to miss the current India-England series in order to attend the birth of his second kid, the 35-year-old will return to action on March 22 in the forthcoming Indian Premier League.
I absolutely love IPL, also because of the camaraderie you share, so many new players you play with, so many players that you’ve known for a long time who are not from your own country, whom you don’t see often,”
“There’s a reason why everyone loves IPL so much, as there’s a connect, both for players and fans,”
“You do play all your tournaments which is one team versus another. ICC tournaments come every now and then, but even in ICC tournaments, you don’t interact with other players or see the other team, so often,”
“But in IPL, you’re probably meeting every team just every second or third day, and that’s the beauty of IPL. You are playing in different conditions in a different city with a different team. Everybody has a different kind of determination at various stages of the tournament and such magical moments are being created,”
