Kohli said that during a cricket match, it is important to discuss what a player is going through rather than what food he had for lunch.

Virat Kohli recently spoke about how essential it is to focus on a player’s struggles rather than what food he had for lunch the last day. Kohli took a brutal dig at broadcasters for focusing on other things rather than a player’s journey.

Virat Kohli takes a dig at broadcasters for not focusing on the players’ journeys.

Separate shows on sports channels are dedicated to showcase athletes’ previous knocks, old habits, and food preferences. However, Kohli feels this shouldn’t be done much, and broadcasters must produce shows that can educate viewers about the sport or athlete more.

What did Kohli say about broadcasters?

Speaking at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit, “We are working towards India becoming a sports-forward nation. We have the vision. We have the groundwork happening today. It should be a collective responsibility of everyone involved. It’s not just about the infrastructure or the people who infuse the money. It’s also about the people who watch. We need education.” He said that during a cricket match, it is essential to talk about what a player is going through rather than discussing what food he had for lunch the last day. He added, “A broadcast show needs to talk about the game and not what I ate yesterday for lunch or my favourite chole-bhature place in Delhi. You can’t have that in cricket matches. Rather, you could talk about what an athlete is going through.”
