Kohli’s Hilarious Kick: Ishant Sharma Shares India Call-Up Story
Former Indian pacer Ishant Sharma recently opened up about his long-standing friendship with Virat Kohli, a bond that began way back in their youth in the Delhi cricket scene.
A Quirky Call-Up
Sharma shared a funny anecdote about how Kohli, then a fellow aspiring cricketer, broke the news of his India selection. Both made their international debuts in the late 2000s, with Sharma joining the national team just before Kohli.
“When our India debut came, the name of the team came…he kicked me and said, your name has come. He said, will you really play for India? I said, brother, let me sleep,” said Ishant.
The story highlights the playful camaraderie between the two cricket legends, even during moments of significant achievement.
