Manu Bhaker is the talk of the town currently, after her historic feat of winning two Bronze medals in Paris Olympics. She first won the medal in Women's 10m Air Pistol and now have bagged another Bronze with a win alongside Sarabjot Singh. 

There are congratulatory messages flowing from all corners, and now an old video has popped up where Manu Bhaker is seen naming Virat Kohli as her favourite cricketer in Indian Sports Honour awards.

In the video, Sanjana Ganeshan is the host and she asks Manu who is her favourite sportsperson. In reply, the shooter says that she has different favourites depending on the sports and in cricket it is Virat Kohli.

"In different events, I have different people, but if we have to talk about cricket, it is ofcourse Virat Kohli."

Virat Kohli's Popularity And SL Series

The video is again a testimony of the popularity of Virat Kohli and what he has done on the cricket field over the years. As far as Manu Bhaker is concerned, she still has one event to go in the Paris Olympics and would be looking to score a hat-trick when it comes around.

Virat Kohli, on the other hand, will be seen in action on 2nd of August when the three-match ODI series starts against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
