In a fun chat on YouTube, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers had a gala moment as they discussed some intriguing chapters in their careers. From sharing hilarious anecdotes to discussing their struggles on the pitch, the two cricket superstars kept fans entertained to the fullest. During the chat, however, a statement from de Villiers left Kohli in absolute slits. The moment came when the former South African player almost called Kohli ‘old’ before correcting himself and labeling him a ‘Very Very Senior Player’. Kohli couldn’t contain his laughter when he saw De Villiers’ effort.
“You’re not old, don’t get me wrong. You’re going to the last phase of a good career very quickly, yes. It’s like a VVSP Very Very Senior Player.
“Is the competitive advantage still there, how do you stay mentally fresh?” de Villiers asked.
Kohli admitted that at this stage of his career, he still gets really excited about big events.
“I mean, at this stage of my career, to be honest, I’m really looking forward to a big run or a big tournament. The games that happen in between, your energy and intensity obviously isn’t the same, so I’ve had quite a bit of it these past few months. But then I started to pick up the games in between very professionally. I started focusing on okay, what can I get out of this game as a batsman? Are there things I want to work on my game and can I go out and actually perform those things while I’m in the thick of the action? So that gave me a little goal to work towards,” he said.
