Virat Kohli IPL 2023: Cricketer reveals why he wears jersey no. 18

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has revealed why he wears jersey no. 18 for both his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore as well as the Indian cricket team.

"To be honest 18 started off just being a number that was given to me when I opened that first India U19 jersey. I never asked for it, it was just given to me. But then it ended up becoming a very important number in my life. My debut came for India on August 18, 2008. My father passed away on December 18, 2006. Two of the most significant dates in my life happened to be 18,” Kohli said in an interview with IPL 2023 broadcaster Star Sports

The 34-year-old feels there is some kind of cosmic connection with the number which is why he continues to wear it in all his matches.
