Renowned YouTuber Mr. Beast has underlined his aspiration to film a video with Team India’s batting star Virat Kohli one day. Mr. Beast, whose real name is James Stephen Donaldson, revealed how he has heard of Kohli being a demigod in India and the people love him.
Kohli has been the backbone of Team India’s batting and has been one of their biggest match-winners of the decade gone by. The Delhi-born cricketer has also left an indelible mark on the sport and has earned the respect of the cricketing fraternity worldwide through his sportsmanship.
Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, Mr. Beast said:
“I’ve been wanting to film with Virat for the longest time. I just know people here worship him and love him.”
When Ranveer referred to the 36-year-old as the ‘Michael Jordan of cricket’, the American YouTuber asked him whether Kohli will agree to it.
“Do you think I could get him in a video? You think he’d be down? If anyone’s listening, help a boy out.”
Virat Kohli hoping to rediscover his form in the third Test against Australia
Following the highs of a glorious hundred at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Kohli perished cheaply twice in Adelaide as Australia levelled the five-Test series.
With the third Test beginning on December 14 at the Gabba in Brisbane, the veteran will be hoping to return to his best.
