“Do I Look Pooja-Paath Types?” Virat Kohli’s Old Comment Goes Viral As He Visits Rishikesh Ashram

The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli seems to be on a spiritual vacation with his wife Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika as recently they were in Rishikesh where they visited Swami Dayananda Ashram, took part in the religious prayers and served food to the saints. They also took part in the Ganga Aarti and sought the blessings of Mother Ganga.

As far as the Indian cricket team is concerned, it will be clashing against New Zealand in the third and the final T20I of the series at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The former skipper Virat Kohli is not a part of the squad and he hasn’t played any T20I match since the exit of India from the ICC T20I World Cup 2022.

Few days back, Virat Kohli visited Vrindavan with his family and his recent visit to Rishikesh is an indication that his inclination towards spirituality is increasing. With this, fans have started talking about the times when Virat said whether he looks pooja-paath types.

The incident took place 7 years ago when Virat Kohli was the vice-captain of the Indian squad. He was attending a press-conference before a very important match against Australia which was scheduled to be played in Mohali in the T20 World Cup. During the press-conference, a journalist asks Virat whether he indulges in pooja-paath (prayers) in order to keep himself cool and calm in the pressure situations. In response, Virat Kohli looks at his tattoo and asks whether he looks pooja-paath types and this leaves everyone in splits.

He further said that when he started, many wrong things were said about him because he has tattoos and wears stylish clothes. Virat Kohli adds that though focusing on negative things is quite easy, he chooses not to do that; he just wants to improve himself as a cricketer with each day and works hard for it. He also says that the career of a cricketer is not very long so for him, it is an opportunity. Once a cricketer gets addicted to performing well, he wants to do it again and again and every cricketer wants to experience that satisfaction as he works hard for it.
