east India captain Virat Kohli opened up on the advice he’d like to give his 16-year-old self. Kohli, widely regarded as the best batsman of the modern era, made his international debut in 2008 after guiding India U-19 side. World Cup glory in the same year. The batting maverick worked hard on his game and became one of the most consistent performers with the bat across formats with 74 international hundreds under his belt.
In a promotional video posted on Kohli’s social media handle, the anchor asked him, “What advice would you give to your 16-year-old self?”
Kohli, who has grown over time as both a player and a person, replied, “Know a little more about the world, open your mind a little more, there is life outside Delhi as well.”
The presenter’s next question was the name of his happiest place, to which Kohli had the perfect answer, “The happiest place is home.”

The 34-year-old also revealed her weirdest diet ever.
“Up until the age of 24-25, it was the weirdest diet I ever had, I literally ate all the junk food in the world. So, for me it was weird, it’s normal,” he said.
Kohli has brought a fitness revolution in Indian cricket and being the flag bearer, he has inspired many cricketers to follow the same path. Struggling to stay fit, the maverick follows a strict diet which has become a part of his life.
The presenter also asked them to name a historical female figure they would like to take out for dinner. The former India captain wasted no time and took the name of late Lata Mangeshkar.
Kohli said, “I never had the chance to meet Lataji, so it would have been wonderful to have a conversation and learn a little more about her life and her journey.”

He was also asked to name the one person he would like to see stranded on an island other than family, for which he named 34-year-old Muhammad Ali – widely regarded as the greatest boxer of all time.
