Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers share a great camaraderie on and off the field.
Recently, the duo had a fun chat on YouTube. During the conversation, a statement from De Villiers left Kohli in absolute splits.
It was a moment when the ex-South African captain almost called Kohli ‘old' before correcting himself and labelling the latter as a ‘Very Very Senior Player'.
"You're not old, don't get me wrong. You're getting towards the latter stages of a good career very very soon yeah. It's like a VVSP Very Very Senior Player.
“Is the competitive edge still there how do you stay mentally fresh?” AB de Villiers asked Kohli while speaking on his YouTube channel 'Three Sixty'.
In reply, Virat Kohli, who will turn 35 next November, said he still gets quite excited about big events.
“I mean at this stage of my career to be very honest I get very excited for a big series or a big tournament. The games that happen in between, obviously your energy and intensity is not the same so it did bother me quite a bit in the in the past few months. But then I started taking the 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 that I'm looking to work on my game and can I go out there and actually execute those things while being in the middle of the action? So that gave me uh a small goal to work towards,” Kohli remarked.
