Virat Kohli puts out a heartfelt message for Roger Federer, video goes viral
The Swiss maestro and Sultan of Grass Roger Federer recently called time on his glorious tennis career and bid adieu to the game of tennis. Roger Federer has a huge fan following around the World and more so in India, where he has a wonderful fan following. Many adore the former Swiss great, and one of his loyal fans also happens to be the former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli has expressed his love for Roger Federer and has been a die-hard fan of the tennis great. There have been many instances where Virat Kohli has attended Wimbledon to watch Roger Federer play and those pictures have also gone viral on social media.
After Roger Federer’s retirement from competitive tennis, Virat Kohli put out a heartfelt video and this is what he had to say in the video –
“Hello Roger, it’s a great honour for me to be able to send this video across for you congratulating you on a phenomenal career that has given us so many beautiful moments and memories,” Kohli said in a video shared by the ATP Tour.
“I personally had the chance to meet you in Australian Open in 2018, something that I’ll never ever forget in my life. One thing that stood out for me even watching you play, was the fact that so many people around the world, not just in the world of tennis got behind you, supporting you and that kind of unity I’ve never seen for any other individual athlete ever. That is something that cannot be created, that cannot be generated in any way.
“You had that special ability always. It was very evident when we watched you play and the aura you brought on court is unmatchable. And for me, you’re always going to be the greatest of all time. I’m sure in the next phase of your life you’re going to have as much fun and as much enjoyment as you did on the court. I wish you all the best and your family as well. Take care.”
You have been a great icon in sport- Virat Kohli on Roger Federer
