Star tennis player Novak Djokovic applauded Kohli for creating history with a picture on story through his official Instagram handle. He wrote: “Congratulations Virat. Legendary.”
The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player.
