The Indian skipper told Sky Sports, “Amazing (feeling). I have met him a couple of times before, the fact that he remembered me was like ‘wow’. He (Federer) told me that he met me in Sydney couple of years back during an exhibition match and I was like “wow he remembers me”. I can’t explain that feeling. I have seen him play since I was a child and he is a great man and a great human being. He kept asking me questions and I could talk to him about mindset. It was a beautiful time spent.”

Kohli also shared that how he and his wife Anushka Sharma, a renowned Bollywood star, love the simple life and always want to stay away from the spotlight.

The Indian cricket team captain said, “Look me and my wife like to do normal things. We just like to go out for walks. If we are in place like Napier, its beautiful. (One of the nights), We were at the Marine parade, enjoying full moon sitting on the bench and just talking.

“It’s actually the most simplest thing that gives us joy purely because we are always in the public eye and we are always doing things in-front of people. To get away and not known by anyone is something that we both like.”
