Indian badminton star PV Sindhu expressed her admiration for Virat Kohli after a meeting at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit in Bengaluru. Sharing a photo with the former Indian cricket captain on Instagram, Sindhu praised Kohli for his guidance and support in a touching message that resonated widely on social media.
Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, has been making a strong comeback after facing challenges due to injuries. Despite a tough year, she showed promising form in international competitions, reaching the quarterfinals of the Thailand Open and playing a significant role in India’s Uber Cup campaign. Recently, she was appointed as the Chair of the BWF Athletes’ Commission, giving her a voice in the Badminton World Federation Council.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli remains a pivotal player for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. With the team securing a spot in the playoffs for IPL 2026, Kohli’s leadership and consistent batting performances have been instrumental. Noteworthy was his unbeaten century against Kolkata Knight Riders, a crucial win for RCB during the tournament.
Kohli’s influence extends beyond cricket, as seen at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit where he actively engaged in discussions on athlete performance, leadership, recovery, mental conditioning, and the future of Indian sports. His involvement in broader sporting and leadership initiatives underscores his commitment to shaping the future of sports in India.
