Both the cricketers discussed about the time they played together for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL.

When Kevin asked Kohli – Why has RCB not won IPL title? Then Kohli replied we have big players in team. With big players we will always be in focus. RCB has reached three finals and we deserve to win the title. He said, more you try to do something more it moves away from you. We need to bring the joy back in team and not look to set goals.

In his conversation Kohli also said he has always tried to learn from big players. He gives his 120 percent. For him how can he make his team win is most important. He has always kept this in his mind when he started, and it has not changed.

On asked who is Virat’s favorite batting partner, he replied he like to bat with people who run well and understand his calling. He enjoys batting with MS Dhoni for India and with AB de Villiers otherwise.

There were other questions also like Kohli turning vegetarian and how did he get nickname Chiku.

He said he got nickname Chiku from coach in the Ranji Trophy. He said he use to have big cheeks and in 2007 he thought he is losing hair, so he cropped his hair. As a result, his cheeks and ear stood out and he got a nickname from a cartoon character (rabbit) from comic champak.

On turning vegetarian he said he left eating meat just before 2018 England Test series. He got cervical spine issue when he went to South Africa in 2018. It was hurting him bad. His body was creating too much of uric acid and his bones were becoming weaker, so he stopped eating meat in the middle of England tour. He started feeling better after stopping meat.
