Speaking on the occasion, Kohli reckoned that sports should be an integral part of everyone’s life and hoped to see people getting motivated and taking up sports as well as fitness as a necessary task in life. He also highlighted PUMA’s effort of making sports an essential activity for all.
“Sports has to be an integral part of everyone’s life. I’m glad that PUMA recognised the need and came forward wholeheartedly to highlight the importance of making it essential, just like other necessities. It was great fun taking time out from our schedules to interact with locals and crashing a meeting at the co-working space to get employees to do fitness challenges. I hope many will be motivated and inspired today and take up sports and fitness as a life skill,” said Kohli.
The former India skipper is currently representing his one and only Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. In seven matches so far, Kohli has scored 279 runs with the help of four half-centuries.
