Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who is currently engaged playing a Test series in Sri Lanka, took some time off from the game and wished Olympian Usain Bolt, an 11-time World Champion and 8-time Olympic gold medallist. Bolt, for that matter, will be running his last competitive race in the upcoming World Championship, on Friday. Kohli, who also endorses Puma much like Bolt, took to Twitter to wish one of his favourite sporting personalities for his future endeavours. Kohli even told Bolt about his wish to play cricket with him. Bolt, however, is a self-proclaimed cricket fan and has always said that the game was a major part of his childhood.
Doesn’t matter if it’s your last competitive race, you will always be #ForeverFastest on and off the track @usainbolt. @PumaCricket pic.twitter.com/9tLL8LT6e7

Kohli in his tweet mentioned, “Hey, Usain! I know it’s your last race we are going to miss you a lot on the track. From me and everyone in the Puma family, we wish you all the very best for this one and all your future endeavours. If you ever wanna play cricket you know where to find me.”
Kohli, earlier this year, expressed his desire to run as fast as Bolt someday. Bolt has been seen partying around with West Indies’ players such as Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy and Dwayne Bravo. The Jamaican-born speedster, in his first visit to India, played an exhibition match alongside Yuvraj Singh in 2014, smacking a 19-ball 45 inclusive of 5 sixes.
