There is no denying that India’s captain Virat Kohli is one of the successful players in the game of cricket. No matter how great the player maybe, at a point of time, the players have to deal with depression issues especially when they are failing to reach everyone’s expectations.
Of late, Virat Kohli had opened up on his battle with depression in 2014 during the tour of England while speaking with former England first-class cricketer Mark Nicholas on his podcast — ‘Not Just Cricket’.
The Indian skipper revealed it wasn’t a good feeling for him, as he didn’t know how to get over with that phase. Kohli also said how he got advice from India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar during the difficult phase and said that his advice helped him throughout his career.
Tendulkar, on Saturday, retweeted Kohl’s podcast interview and expressed how he felt about the latter’s words. He praised Kohli for a prosperous career and also praised him for sharing personal experiences from his career.
.@imVkohli, proud of your success & decision to share such personal experiences.
These days youngsters are constantly judged on social media. Thousands speak about them but not to them.
We need to be able to listen to them and help them flourish. https://t.co/xsBThtzOTx
