I have seen Virat play half of my life and I can say this guy has changed and matured completely from abusing and sledding to appreciating opponents... You're my Idol bro

[@TusheetPalSingh]

The Best Interview of Virat till Date

[@koibatnahi4683]

I am wondering why this interview hasn't got views in millions. Perhaps most Indians don't know about Graham's show. A great interviewing job by Graham by the way. The homework shows.

[@manavpatra4808]

For an American Journalist who wouldn't know much about the Cricketing World and the inner lives of some of the game's best, I was quite impressed by Bensinger's in-depth research on "one8" and asking him the right kind of questions, thus keeping him involved in this beautiful 90 minute session. You could see that even Virat was impressed by the level of research that would have gone behind it. Good on ya, Graham and congratulations for having an awesome conversation with The King!

[@GrahamBensinger]

Thanks!!

As an Aussie, never thought I'd say I kinda like Kohli now

[@navoneel]

Why would you never think about liking kohli? He's one of the greatest out there in the field. Even Indians respect Aussie legends like Warne, Ricky, Warner and many more.

[@mohamamedusmanbasha3056]

Such a decent interview, looks very clean and beautiful. Virat kohli's maturity unbelievable. So kind to see.

[@smilingpukpuk]

This is what proper journalism looks like for true audience engagement because it encourages the respondent to feel comfortable about opening up, knowing that your responses are going to be respected for the context in which you say things and not be cherry-picked for abuse and sensationalism. It's also a template for so-called journalists from India who lack the skills, professionalism training, knowledge, and processes in researched backgrounding and proper interviewing methods instead of sound-bite questions intended for tamasha

[@santoshmudgil4060]

[@utube460]

Virat is Virat (Huge) as his name suggests in Hindi. He is a complete matured sportsperson who is also an icon to 140 Billion people & many more abroad. Virat has firmly & Successfully gripped the baton from Sachin post latter's retirement. These people create substantial positive impact in common man's life specially in youth's growth. Listening to him even inspires elderlies like me - Hats off to him ! God bless him & May Virat bring even more laurels to our country . Great Interview & salute to anchorperson to giving us peep in his personal domain - There is so much to learn from him !

I was staying at the same hotel as the U19 team in Malaysia in 2008. I’d heard about Virat Kohli and clearly remember seeing him at the hotel. With his attitude at that time, I remember thinking - “This guy is going to go in the same career route as Vinod Kambli” How wrong I was!!!

[@hotdilutesoup1968]

Virat bro from where you got that so much power

[@HimanshuSharma-bv7eu]

[@maharshijoshi7049]

The calmness in his voice is just something different from KING KOHLI’s aggression on the field.

[@vaibhavmittal6961]

He talking about the 2019 Semi Final loss and wanting to play the finals. And here we are after 2023 WC...

[@rahulauradkar3714]

Virat kohli is an inspiration and an idol for the entire generation, its pretty irresponsible to say what he did about mathematics, kids 8 and 12 years old look up to him, they would give up on their mathematics journey even before they start, listening to Virat Kohli’s “opinions”. Sad
