Q & A on Facebook : Virat Kohli answers fans queries




Kohli was honest and forthright in his Q&A with his fans

Virat Kohli is a busy man these days and that is not just on the cricket pitch, where he seems to be scoring runs for fun and winning more and more plaudits with every passing game, for his captaincy.
Off the field as well, Kohli is busy with his commitments with other sports. Specifically with those sports, where he owns a sports team.
Fresh from leading India to a 3-0 series win over South Africa in the longest format of the game, India’s Test skipper became co-owner of Bengaluru Yodhas franchise in the Pro Wrestling League and co-owner of UAE Royals in IPTL.

On Wednesday, Kohli asked his fans to send him their queries via the hashtag #AskVirat. Here are some of his responses to the questions posed by his adoring fans.
Q. Federer or Nadal?
Kohli: Obviously Federer! That’s why I’m here with the UAE Royals.
Q. IPL or IPTL?
Kohli: (Laughs) Both! Can’t say no to either.
Q. Any Bollywood plans?
Kohli: No. (chuckles)
Q. One word about Federer and Sachin?
Kohli: Friends!
Q. Do you want to play doubles with FedEx?
Kohli: Why not? I’ll be crap though. He will have to do all the work!
Q. What is similar in you and Federer?
Kohli: Nothing! He’s at a different level, I think there’s nothing similar.
Q. How do you find Federer as a human being?
Kohli: I think he is a wonderful human being. I have met him twice and it’s shocking to see how humble and how patient he is.
Q. Which team India member would you pair up for a doubles game with?
Kohli: I think, Ashwin. He plays really good Tennis, so he’ll be my doubles partner.
Q. How do you see the future of the Indian cricket team?
Kohli: Very bright, I hope!
Q. What is your biggest fear?
Virat: Heights.
