After veteran spinner Amit Mishra claimed that Virat Kohli had changed as a person thanks to fame and power and also said that that is the reason why the relationship between the duo isn’t the same anymore, the social media came to Kohli’s support and criticized Mishra for his remarks. Recently, former India batsman Robin Uthappa also praised Kohli for his hard work and personality.
Uthappa said that the former India captain has evolved into a mature human being.
“I have actually seen Virat kind of evolve from a brash young Delhi boy to an evolved human being. You know the evolution has been quite tremendous, to be honest. Today he’s practically reaping what he had sown 15 years ago. One of the things that has always stood out to me about Cheeku has been his conviction in himself,” Uthappa said on cricket.com/tv.
“When I listen to a young 19-year-old Virat Kohli, you know talking about himself or his conviction in himself, you’ll get mortified, you’ll be like ‘What is this dude talking about?’. “But fast forward 10 years and you be like ‘Okay now that makes sense,” he added.
