"Because the camera is on": Virat Kohli's witty reply on being called a "refined man"

During a recent media interaction on JioStar, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli offered a humorous and self-aware explanation when he was complimented for speaking in a more polished manner. Responding to the praise about his refined communication style, the former captain joked that the polite demeanor was simply present because the camera was rolling.

Preparing for an upcoming three-match ODI series against the West Indies, Kohli also touched upon his leadership role in the dressing room. He noted that despite maturing over the years into a disciplined global sports icon and style personality, he still enjoys pulling off pranks to help younger teammates feel at ease.

The veteran batter shared that he can easily mimic anyone after spending just a short time around them, highlighting Ishan Kishan as the teammate he imitates best. The discussion additionally noted earlier remarks regarding player preferences involving Ramandeep Singh, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and AB de Villiers, alongside Kohli's long-term aspiration to secure a victory in the 2027 World Cup final.
