Virat Kohli, who is currently playing in the second Test match between India and England at Lord’s, appeared on popular comedy TV show Comedy Nights with Kapil on Sunday night on July 20. Kohli revealed several interesting anecdotes on the show about his fellow cricketers in the national side, and blushed at the mention of his alleged lady love Anushka Sharma.
Kapil Sharma asked several questions to Kohli during the show, and the audience was treated to information like – Ishant Sharma is the heaviest eater and Rohit Sharma slept the most. Kapil’s wit was visible throughout the show, and the audience had a hearty laugh at his jokes. In one instance, Kohli was asked,
‘’Which Indian player is most shy when it comes to girls?’’. ‘’Cheteshwar Pujara,”, Kohli said, adding that the bataman even prays five times in a day. ‘’Pujara! The name itself is devotional.’’, quipped Kapil. (Puja means prayer in Hindi). Kohli also added that Pujara’s wife’s name is in fact Puja.
Kohli also spoke about how he and the Indian cricket team loved the show, and would watch it together whenever they get time or are traveling.
The star Indian batsman revealed that Rohit Sharma is one player in the side who can fall asleep whenever and wherever there is a chance. Mohammed Shami is another one, who can sleep for hours together while getting a massage from the team’s masseur Mane Kaka.
To entertain the audience, Kohli also imitated India pacer Ishant Sharma and famous Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor.
