During an interview with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) insider, Mr. Nags, also known as Danish Sait, Kohli was asked about his children and whether they show any interest in cricket.
“My daughter has picked up a bat and she has really started to enjoy the swing. But I am not sure. It’s their choice at the end of the day,” said Kohli.
