Virat Kohli: The Representative of “New India” in Cricket
The renowned cricketer, Virat Kohli, has rejected the label of being the “most Australian non-Australian”. Instead, he identifies as a representative of a “new India”, which faces challenges with determination. Kohli’s reception in Australia has been exceptional. Former players, media, and television channels have focused their attention on Kohli and the impact of his absence in the three test matches in which he will not participate.Kohli prefers to be true to himself. “My personality and character are a representation of the new India,” he stated. “That’s how we have begun to face challenges as the Indian cricket team. I have always been like this from the beginning.” Kohli acknowledged that Australia welcomes those who perform well on their land. “When you do well here, you earn the respect of the public,” he said. “There is anticipation to see you play.”Kohli is the most Australian non-Australian cricketer of all time.
