Virat Kohli and Smriti Mandhana, two of India’s most celebrated cricketers, have captured the hearts of millions with their exceptional performances. While their individual brilliance is widely recognized, there’s another fascinating connection between these two stars—the number 18. 

Both Kohli and Mandhana wear the iconic No. 18 jersey, symbolizing their shared commitment and passion for the game. Recently, the duo appeared together in an advertisement that highlighted their bond.

Known as the "King of Cricket," Virat Kohli has worn the No. 18 jersey for years, becoming synonymous with India's cricketing success. On the other hand, Smriti Mandhana, often referred to as the "Queen of Cricket," also dons the same number, carrying forward the legacy in the women’s team. 

Mandhana, who leads the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women’s team—just as Kohli led the men’s team in the Indian Premier League—shares many parallels with the cricket icon, from her aggressive playing style to her leadership on the field.

In a recent advertisement, both Virat and Smriti stood side by side, representing their shared jersey number with pride. Kohli, in the video, delivered a heartfelt line, saying, “Jersey No. 18 is not just mine, it belongs to someone who makes India proud.” 

Virat Kohli shared the ad on his official Twitter account, with a caption that read:

“The spirit of #ChooseBold is what drives us to face our fears! From one Jersey 18 to another, I'm here to cheer for the "Naya Sher" @mandhana_smriti. Join me in celebrating the bold journeys of our Naya Shers this cricket season. Are you ready to roar? Stay tuned!”

Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana is gearing up for the T20 World Cup, with India’s campaign kicking off against New Zealand on October 4.
