It is a universal truth that a student can’t become great until and unless he is fortunate enough to have a great teacher and it seems that the Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli understands it completely.
On the occasion of Teacher’s Day on September 5, Virat shared a pic on social media and wrote, “To all the teachers around the world and especially to the ones in the Cricket World. #HappyTeachersDay”
The photo shows Virat sitting in a thinking mode while in the background, names of the great cricketers are written on the wall. The wall contains names of not just Indian cricketers but also the ones from other countries including Pakistan.
Here’s his tweet:
To all the teachers around the world and especially to the ones in the Cricket World. 🙏😊 #HappyTeachersDay pic.twitter.com/pvtrBw5uyK

Twitter was flooded with praises and appreciation for the Indian skipper and Pakistanis were also very generous in showering their love on Virat. However, there was one user from across the border who was not acquainted with the Indian captain and asked, “If U Don’t Mind Plzz, Could You Tell Me The Name Of This Gentleman in The Post ?”

Could You Tell Me The Name Of This Gentleman in The Post ?— Syeda Aliya Ahmad (@Aliya313) September 7, 2017
A Pakistani from across the border was quick to respond, “He is virat kohli and he’s Indian Cricket team captain. Right now he is the greatest batsman and behind him name of all renowned cricketers.”

It’s an open secret that Virat is admired a lot by the Pakistani youngsters, not only for his game but also for his attitude and discipline that he follows in his life. Surely, he is an inspiration to many.
Just recently, Virat said,
“Lot of us don’t actually know how far we can push ourselves. May be at times, without knowing, we are only able to realize 70 percent of our potential. Therefore it is necessary to push yourself until you are done. For example, if I train as hard as I train now, I will possibly play for another 10 years.”
Undoubtedly, this statement by the Indian skipper gives us an idea as to how hungry he is for achievements and success and he is not going to shy away from pushing himself to the extremes for this purpose.
