Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli is widely regarded as one of the best batters in the world, as he has achieved numerous records and accolades throughout his phenomenal career. Kohli, who is known for his exceptional batting skills, superb consistency, high-class technique, and aggressive playing style, recently unveiled the ??profound significance behind his jersey number 18.

Kohli has been wearing the 18th number jersey for both India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL ever since he started to play higher-level cricket. The RCB star reckoned there is a deeper, mystical connection or significance associated with h??is jersey number, and he finds it remarkable and almost unbelievable that so many peopl??e now wear his jersey number and have his name on their backs.

The Delhi-born termed it as a surreal feeling and said he never envisioned himself being in this position of recognition and popularity. Kohli said as a child, he aspired to wear the jersey of his own hero, n?ever imagining that one ??day he would be the one inspiring others to wear his own jersey.

“There has to be a cosmic connection with this number. I find it quite surreal even now to be honest when I see so many people wearing my jersey number and name. It’s quite surreal because I never imagined that I would be in this position one day. I was a kid wanting to wear my hero’s jersey at a certain given point,” said Kohli in a video shared by Star Sports.

Kohli mentioned that he received his first India U19 jersey with the number 18. He also revealed that two highly impactful events in his life are associated with the number 18. Firstly, his debut for th?e Indian team occurred on August 18, 2008, and his father passed away on December 18, 2006.

“To be honest 18 started off just being a number that was given to me when I opened that first India U19 jersey. I never asked for it, it was just given to me.But then it ended up becoming a very important number in my life. My debut came for India on August 18, 2008. My father passed away on December 18, 2006. Two of the most significant dates in my life happened to be 18,” added Kohli.

India women cricket team’s vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, on Wednesday, made her debut on ‘Chahal TV’, the popular chat show for BCCI, hosted by Yuzvendra Chahal.

Mandhana, who recently won the ICC Women’s Player of the Year award and went up to the top in ICC rankings for batters, shares the jers??ey number 18 with the male I?CC Player of the Year, Virat Kohli.

Mandhana has revealed the ??reason why she went for No. 18 jersey.

“First I wanted number 7 on the back of my jersey. My roll number at school was 7. But someone else had already taken 7. Vikas sir, our team manager, then suggested me to take 18 since my birthday is on 18 July. I knew it only a couple of years ago that Virat also has been playing with 18 on the back of his jersey,” she said.

Smriti also made fun of Chahal’s batting prowess in the episode. T?he batter said that she thought about improving her own game after watching him bat in the fourth ODI against New?? Zealand.

Chahal was the top scorer among the Men in?? Blue with 18 not-out runs when India were bowled out for a pa?ltry 92 runs.
