Kohli still misses his father and has said in interviews that he regrets that he is not able to give his father a great and comfortable life after retirement, something that he richly deserved, due to his untimely demise.
Today, on Father’s day, Virat shared an old photo of him along with his dad somewhere on vacation and posted it on his Instagram account with a heartfelt caption.
“This father's day, I urge you all to be grateful for the love of your father but always look for your own path to move forward in life. You'll never have to look behind because they're always watching over you whether they're physically there or not. Happy father's day ????????,” the caption read.
