Even the biggest stars are embarrassed by some of their past comments, and Virat Kohli is no exception. The Indian batting superstar had to get tired of his young self after seeing an old interview of himself.
Virat Kohli was shown a clip by anchor Jatin Sapru when both appeared on Jiohotstar’s ’18 Calling 18′ show. This video turned out to be a throwback to a special moment in former Indian captain-his first match awards in the IPL.

Kohli and Gale are still great friends
The right-handed batsman made his IPL debut in 2008 and was one of the highly rated youngsters in world cricket, but failed to win an award in his first three seasons.
He ultimately managed to win his first Player of the Match award in 2011, following the victory over the Delhi Capitals of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He scored 56 runs from 38 balls in that game, helping RCB chase 162 runs with three balls remaining.
While winning the award, Virat Kohli explained the plan during the batting, saying, “To be honest, I wasn’t planning on hitting that way. But I planned to hit the ball from Chris. I was in charge from Chris.
Virat Kohli was embarrassed:
Eleven years after receiving the first player in the match award, Virat Kohli revisited another special moment. However, the former RCB captain left embarrassing in his comments at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I don’t even know what I said. You guys brought it from somewhere else,” he responded when he first saw the clip.
Kohli and Sapru listened to the video before the former giggled about their comments on Chris Gayle. Kohli then continued to laugh at herself, saying, “Chris could play for herself? Garat Femi Dek Ro (see the misunderstanding)! Since the social media boom, fans have begun analyzing player quotes.
