Ever since Virat Kohli came onto the cricket scene all guns blazing, the gentleman’s game has been redefined. Virat may even have put the ‘spectator’ in the sport. And yet there is something undeniable about his stardom. This boy can be bad if you want him to. He is the one person who knows how to take criticism and adoration in his stride. Because at the end of the day what matters is how you play the game.
19th March 2016, India vs Pakistan, 55 runs in 37 balls, enough said. That, ladies and gents, is the mic drop right there. Try your skills at this feelloveusehate game. You’ll know where you stand against others!
Love keeps no scores
You know there is something about a boy who sports some badass tattoos to match his fiery attitude. No wonder so many Delhi boys out there are flaunting theirs. It’s almost as if each is a badge of honour. Nothing spells edgy quite like getting inked.
Hate is the driver
Evident in him flashing his middle finger to a crowd of unruly hecklers in Sydney, Virat is not one to take things lying down! You get as good as you give. Even if that means wearing his emotions on his finger. The crowd got a taste of his fire.
When love keeps you interested
When you’re only the most popular cricketer on the scene right now, you know the bevy of beauties can’t be far behind. A boy has to work hard and party harder, right? With him, it’s like he doesn’t even have to try too hard. A pap magnet, the player has been linked to almost every pretty young thing out there. It’s a game and he makes the rules on and off the pitch! One look from those steely eyes and you’ll be floored.
When love wants you to rise
It’s no secret that success comes with hard work but no one shows the result of all that hard work more than Virat. All that horsepower must be reflected somewhere. A high-voltage star like Virat makes the maximum impact with the minimum effort. Especially when you live larger than life.
…hate settles scores
No one turns raw energy into pure performance on the pitch like him, he is no easy target. When the going gets tough he gets going! He’s in it to win it, and that too in style. So don’t you dare get in the way.
