"Virat Kohli Counted Money, Ate Food...": Ex-Teammate Reveals RCB Star's Huge Transformation
India pacer Ishant Sharma said on Saturday that Virat Kohli will always be “Cheeku” to those who grew up with him, reflecting on the friendship that dates back to their early days in Delhi cricket. Ishant, who played alongside Kohli from the under-17 level through to the senior India team, said the former captain's public image of a super star contrasts with the person he has known since childhood. "I think Virat Kohli (the star) is for outside people. I can't see him like that because we played in the U-17s. He is a childhood friend to me," Ishant, who bagged 434 wickets in 105 Tests, said on Star Sports Press Room on the eve of Gujarat Titans' match against Delhi Capitals.
