Virat Kohli has not only inspired the young generation to take up Cricket but he has also motivated and changed the lives of many celebrities with his work ethic, his dedication, and his honesty. One such celebrity is Telugu and Tamil films superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu. A couple of years ago, the talented actress revealed how Kohli made her emotional after his comeback.

How Kohli made popular Indian actress emotional

During the IPL 2023, the actress appeared on Star Sports India and praised Kohli for his dedication and commitment towards his work. She further added that Virat Kohli is someone who can inspire millions, and people should follow his footsteps.

“Virat Kohli is so inspiring. His dedication, grit and commitment is just amazing and so inspiring to watch. He’s made a lot of lives change with his grit and determination," she said, as quoted by News18.

The actress further mentioned that she was moved and was brought to tears when Kohli made his comeback, and scored a century.

"I almost cried when Virat Kohli made a comeback and scored century after that phase. He is an inspiration," she added.

How Kohli made his grand comeback after mini setback

From 2016 to 2019, Kohli was at the peak of his powers and was almost untouchable. He was the undisputed King of Cricket and was breaking records for fun. However, post-2020, his form dipped massively, and his captaincy was also taken away.

After the 2022 England tour, Kohli took a break from Cricket, and when he came back, the veteran batter had a clear thought process. He had a stellar T20 World Cup 2022 and was also instrumental in IPL 2023, scoring 639 runs in 14 matches, including two centuries. The 2023 season was special since the RCB batter failed in the 2022 edition, scoring only 341 runs.
