India’s star batsman Virat Kohli said it was unusual to play in front of the pavilion named after him at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. There he honed his cricketing skills from an early age in age group cricket and Ranji Trophy. India, who started their World Cup season with a stunning win over the impressive Australians, will take on Afghanistan in the second match in Delhi on Wednesday.
Virat Kohli is one of the few cricketers to have his name inscribed on the pavilion before his retirement. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) named Arun’s Jaitley Stadium pavilion in his honor in September 2019. Many believe that the former Indian captain will help the Indian nation become world champions again in his 2023 year.

“It’s a homecoming for you. I’m going to Delhi.” I think that’s a very special feeling for you. You grew up there and now you have a pavilion named after you. What is this feeling you are experiencing right now? ”KL Rahul asked Virat Kohli.

Virat Kohli started talking about how strange it felt to play in front of the pavilion that now bears his name. He feels very ashamed of his feelings and avoids talking about them much. But the Indian cricket superstar admitted he couldn’t help but be grateful after returning to the upgraded stadium with new features. It reminds him of his progress since his early days on this legendary cricket ground.
“For me, this is the stadium where I played age group Ranji cricket as a kid.” I also played there for India. Even when I go back to that moment, the memory is always fresh in my mind and I can still feel it. Because that’s where it all started, where you were first selected and where you were given the opportunity. p>
“That’s why it’s always special to play at the Arun Jaitley Stadium again.” It’s a little awkward for me to play in front of a pavilion named after me. To be honest, I don’t really want to talk about it because it’s such an uncomfortable feeling, but when I go back and see everything that’s there now and where I started, I just feel so grateful. ” said Virat Kohli.
