Virat Kohli

In a recent interview that has taken the cricketing world by storm, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir shared a light-hearted moment that left fans in splits. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) orchestrated a rare sit-down between the two cricketing legends, which was released on September 18, 2024.

The interview began with Kohli and Gambhir reminiscing about their illustrious careers, discussing their mindset, and sharing anecdotes from their time on the field. The conversation was filled with mutual respect and admiration, but it was the playful banter that stole the show. As the interview drew to a close, Gambhir revealed that his next guest would be none other than Rohit Sharma. He then asked Kohli if he had any questions for the Indian captain.

The Hilarious Question from Virat Kohli

Without missing a beat, Kohli responded with a question that had everyone laughing: “Ke subah bheege badam khate hai ki nahi?” (Do you eat soaked almonds in the morning?). This seemingly simple question was a playful jab at Rohit’s well-known habit of forgetting things. Kohli’s quick wit and sense of humour were on full display, and Gambhir couldn’t help but join in the laughter.

Rohit Sharma’s forgetfulness is a well-documented and often joked-about trait among his teammates and fans. Over the years, there have been numerous instances where Rohit has forgotten essential items or details. Kohli himself had highlighted this habit years ago in an episode of “Breakfast with Champions” on YouTube. He recounted how Rohit had forgotten his iPad, wallet, phone, and even his passport on multiple occasions.

As the Indian cricket team prepares to face Bangladesh in the first Test in Chennai on September 19, 2024, this interview has provided a moment of levity and entertainment. Fans are eagerly anticipating the match and looking forward to seeing how Rohit responds to Kohli’s question in his upcoming interview with Gambhir.
