ICC Twenty20 World Cup | Approachable 'Virat Kohli' is making everyone smile
The Hindu
The relationship seems far more organic where the adulation from fans and the reciprocation from their hero has become a two-way street.
Everything looks the same but something seems to have changed.
Virat Kohli, who will turn 34 on November 5, 2022, is back in his element and has again become the tormentor of the bowlers that he used to be three summers ago.
He is still the 'King Kohli' surrounded by people and his distinct swagger remains very much part of his personality but at the same time, he looks a completely different human being and very approachable.
Even if you are not a manic cricket fan, you would still like to break a barricade to go near him and may be just say 'hi'.
There is every possibility that you will get back a smile in return and that would seem very sincere, deep and genuine. Your day will be made and you will go home a happy man.
Cricket is a 'performing art' and as an artist, it is not just his achievements but the connect that he is slowly creating with his fans which will contribute immensely to his rich legacy.
It is not just about eulogizing the alpha-male who you see on TV screens every night as you savour your dinner.
