Shalaj Sodhi is a good friend of Virat Kohli and has shared the dressing room with him while playing for Delhi in Ranji Trophy in the late 2000s. Shalaj shared several pics of Kohli on his official Instagram account. There are many group photos where Kohli is enjoying with his friends. There is a particular photo of Virat’s slam book, which has caught the attention of fans.
In that slam book, Virat filled in general details about himself. Apart from that, he had written that playing football is his favourite hobby while back then the happiest moment for him was the time when he joined the coaching for establishing his career in the field of cricket.
Kohli named Hrithik Roshan as his favourite Bollywood star while he mentioned his ambition to become a cricketer one day. On a funny note, Kohli mentioned himself to be stupid in a column where he was asked to write about himself.
