When it comes to being a role model, Virat Kohli has everything young people need: Mohammed Shami

Recent remarks by Mohammed Shami praised Virat Kohli’s extraordinary commitment to the game and discussed why he is a perfect role model for young people.

Up until now, Kohli’s career has been flawless. The Delhi batsman has 26733 runs after playing in 522 international matches. With 7,897 runs from 249 games, he is also the highest run scorer in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. One of India’s best red-ball captains, according to many, is Kohli.

Kohli, 35, places a high value on his physical fitness and batting prowess, according to Shami, who thrived as a wicket-taking bowler under his captaincy. Shami also stated that Kohli never leaves the zone. The Bengals’ speedster claimed that Kohli is a perfect example for young people to follow.

“He is quite clear about his intentions, whether it is for batting or conditioning. He will complete the job even if you give him the bowling, despite his crossfoot (wrong foot) motion. Hey, this is a band, but it’s not really a frame (zone), so it’s not really a zaroor. He is one of those people who is always focused, no matter where he is. Woh jab bhi aayega, woh show karega apne aap ko ke haan’mai kya hu. Shami posted on Cricbuzz, “Whenever he comes back, he shows who he is.”

Imagine the amount of knowledge that the current generation will acquire about talent, fitness, and other topics if there are such role models. You find loyalty in everything when you examine it from every angle. Virat Kohli is a reflection of that. “He possesses all the qualities that young people require in a role model,” he continued.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, which is currently in progress, Kohli has been in incredible form. At the scenic Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday, May 9, the talisman batsman struck a brilliant 47 off of 47 balls against Punjab Kings, helping Royal Challengers Bengaluru set a challenging goal of 242. He increased his advantage over the second-ranked Ruturaj Gaikwad with this knock. From 12 games, the veteran has amassed 634 runs at an average of 70.44 and a strike rate of 153.51.

Following their 181-run thumping of Punjab in the 17th over, the Royal Challengers went on to win the match by 60 runs. RCB defeated the Kings with this victory, bringing their record to 10 points from 12 games. In the last stretch of the regular season, Kohli will try to carry Bengaluru to the postseason by maintaining his current hot streak. Next month is the T20 World Cup 2024, and as India attempts to snap an 11-year drought without an ICC championship, Kohli’s performances will be critical.
