Royal Challengers Bengaluru star batsman Virat Kohli has been in red-hot form in the ongoing edition of the IPL. Despite RCB having had a terrible campaign with just three wins in ten matches, Kohli has put in brilliant performances. With 500 runs in 10 matches, Kohli is one of the highest run-scorers of the season. The 35-year-old cricketer is widely popular for his hardcore dedication to fitness and cricket. He is also known for his cheerful personality.
Recently, Kohli was asked at an event about his alternative career if he was not a cricketer.
The RCB star replied, “Pata nahi yarr, shayad business. Honestly, maine kabhi socha nahi. Mujhe bilkul business chalana nahi aata tha, ab thoda sa aata hai. Agar bina cricket ke business karta toh log 200% mujhe bewakuf bana dete . Ab thoda bahut aata hai business karna, bahut dhakke aur dhoke khaake (I don't know, maybe business. To be honest, I never thought about it. I never knew how to run a business, but now I'm slowly learning how to If I had run a business without cricket, 200% of everyone would have made a fool of me. Now, after experiencing many betrayals and hardships, I am gradually learning.)”

Besides cricket, Kohli is also a successful businessman. Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, has invested in brands like Rage Coffee, fitness center Chisel, menswear brand WROGN and Blue Tribe.
Despite having a good IPL season with the bat, Kohli has been criticized for his strike rate. Earlier, after RCB's win over Gujarat Titans, Kohli opened up about the criticism.
“All the people talking about it [my] the success rate and the fact that I don't play well are the ones who like to talk about these things. But for me it's just about winning the game. There's a reason why you do it for 15 years. Because you do this day in and day out and you've won games for your team.”
“I'm not sure you haven't been in that situation, sitting and talking about the game from the box. I don't think it's the same. I'm just doing my job. People can talk about their own things.” ideas and assumptions about the game (sic),” he added.
