If you are a true fan of Virat Kohli and follow cricket religiously then you must be aware of Rajkumar Sharma and his precious role in Virat’s life.
Every kid has that one teacher whom she/he adores and gives respect without even being asked for it. Well, Rajkumar Sharma is that one teacher for the run machine of Indian cricket team.
Virat’s guru’s strict discipline and right guidance made him what he is today. India is proud of his talent and behind his clean and sharp skills, it’s his Guru’s efforts.
Veteran sports journalist Vijay Lokapally has written a book ‘Driven’ on the life of the promising batsman ‘Virat Kohli’. The book has revealed many untold stories of Virat’s life and this is one of them!
The book recalls the incident of 2014 Teacher’s Day, On this day Virat just left his Guru Rajkumar Sharma shocked and made this day unforgettable for him!
Virat with the help of his brother succeeded to surprise his mentor with a brand new Skoda Rapid car. Rajkumar says that he doesn’t remember this day merely because Virat gifted him that car but because of the emotional relationship they share with each other.
Here is what the author actually wrote in the book…
“I answered the bell and found Vikas (Kohli’s elder brother) at the door,” said Raj Kumar.
“His brother’s arrival at his house so early in the day was cause for concern. Vikas stepped into the house, dialed a number and handed his cell phone to Raj Kumar. ‘Happy teacher’s Day Sir,’ said Virat, even as Vikas thrust something into Rajkumar’s palms — a bunch of keys.
“Rajkumar stood perplexed as Vikas requested him to step out of his house. A gleaming Skoda Rapid was parked at the gate — a gift from Virat to his mentor.”
“It was not merely because he had gifted me the car. It was because of his emotional touch to the process of reminding me how much he treasured our association, and valued the role of a teacher in his life.”
Isn’t this gesture of Virat Kohli so overwhelming and adorable? Are you a Kohli fan? what do you feel about this incident?
