Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, one of the leading batsmen of the modern era, has revealed the story behind his shirt number 18.
In an interview to the Indian media, Virat Kohli told the interesting story of getting number 18 and became emotional.
Virat said that I got the number 18 shirt for the first time in the under-19 team. It was just a number for me then but with time this number became very important in my life.
The eminent cricketer said that I made my debut for India on August 18, 2008. My father passed away on December 18, 2008.
He said that these two dates are very important in my life, I got this shirt long before these events. This number has become a magical relationship with me.
He said that he never thought that people would wear a shirt with my name and number.
