India captain Virat Kohli featured on the cover of August issue of fashion magazine GQ India.

“But the truth is that if you work hard, the game will give you back. The game does not look at tattoos, it looks at the commitment towards the game,” he added.
He further said that the youngsters now feel comfortable to present themselves they want to. “If you have tattoos, styled hair or earrings, you will not be stopped just because you are flamboyant. It is not like that if I style my hair, I won’t dive because I fear that it’ll get spoiled.”
Kohli also talked about his obsession with winning. He said, “Winning is like an obsession for me. I have understood to accept my losses now but earlier, I used to get mad when I lost.”
“I have realized now that it is not just about me working hard and doing something on the field but also about being able to see the larger picture,” the 29-year old said.
India are currently playing a five-match Test series against England and the first Test match is being played at Edgbaston.
The first day of the first Test witnesses India restricting England to 285 for 9 with spinner R Ashwin picking four wickets.
