Virat Kohli, the global sports icon and one of the finest cricketers of modern day generation, received huge praise from his RCB teammate Will Jacks as the latter reflected on Kohli’s magnetic aura and unreal fanbase across the country of India.

Virat Kohli’s influence as a sports icon extends far beyond his on-field performances. His dedication, aggressive playing style, and consistent excellence have made him a revered figure in cricket. 

Owing to his continued excellence and majestic records in the field of cricket, Virat Kohli has gathered a massive fanbase across the sporting nation of India where cricket is perceived as a religion. 

However, for English batter and RCB teammate Will Jacks, witnessing Virat Kohli and his popularity firsthand for the first time was nothing short of a surreal experience.

In his latest interview with ESPN Cricinfo, Will Jacks stated that Virat Kohli’s aura is something he’s never seen before in the world of sports. The manner in which fans look up to him, celebrate him, and follow him is something you will not witness even with the greatest footballers in the world. 

Will Jacks went on to add that seeing fans follow and support him from the streets to all the way to the airport was an eye opening experience for him.

"Seeing Kohli's aura, how people look at him, the following, even if you see a footballer in public at home, it's not like that. It's eye-opening, everywhere we go - all the airports, every street - the support is incredible," Jacks said on ESPN Cricinfo.

Needless to say, Virat Kohli is a superstar and one of the most influential celebrities in India. His aura, the incredible support he garners, and his inspirational legacy highlight his status as one of the most impactful sports figures of this generation.
