Virat was once stunned by David Warner’s batting

Kohli who shares a great deal of friendship with Warner both on and off the field replied to him in the most humble manner. He replied that he was stunned when he saw Warner for the first time in Brisbane academy. He added that his switch hit made him awestruck way back in 2008 and wondered who this guy was.

“more like your switch hit over mid wicket. First time I saw it was 2008 at the Brisbane academy. You were hitting them further in a switch hit than me hitting it right handed. I was like who’s this guy.” Kohli commented.
