Virat Kohli, the famous Indian cricketer, seems to be getting closer to former England captain Kevin Pietersen. Pietersen is in India for commentary during the ODI series between the two teams. They have been seen chatting and laughing together several times during their matches.
During one game in Nagpur, Kohli, who was injured at the time, showed Pietersen his hurt knee that kept him from playing in the first match. They enjoyed a funny moment that made them both smile. On another occasion, while fielding near the boundary, Kohli was spotted laughing and talking with Pietersen, who was watching from the sidelines.
People on the internet are curious about why these two are talking so much. Some think Kohli might be interested in learning about real estate prices in London, where he has spent a lot of time since the birth of his son, Akaay. Kohli’s childhood coach even mentioned that Kohli plans to move to London soon, leaving India behind. Since Kohli has a home there, asking about property prices makes sense.
During the second ODI, Aakash Chopra, a former Indian opener, mentioned on air that Kohli could be asking Pietersen about good neighborhoods in London. Pietersen responded thoughtfully, saying, “Never assume things,” hinting that their chats might be about something different.
Later, Pietersen revealed that they were talking about golf, a sport he loves. When another former Indian cricketer, Suresh Raina, guessed this, Pietersen agreed, adding that he has told Kohli to start playing golf because it’s a fantastic game.
Kohli spent a lot of time in London last year, including when he and his wife, Anushka Sharma, welcomed their second child. After some matches in India, Kohli briefly traveled to the USA and West Indies for the T20 World Cup before returning to the UK. After that, he quickly came back to India and has been here since.
