Bollywood actress Shehnaaz Gill has recently spoken about her admiration for Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, revealing that he was the reason she started watching cricket. The actress, known for her bubbly personality and candid confessions, shared her thoughts on the iconic batsman, reflecting a sentiment echoed by many fans across the nation.

Gill's admiration for Kohli isn't new. Back in 2023, a behind-the-scenes video of Gill and Kohli went viral while shooting a promotional advertisement for Star Sports. Although they were never in the same frame, fans enjoyed seeing them together.

Kohli's influence extends beyond the realm of sports, with many finding inspiration in his dedication and passion for the game. Gill's statement underscores the cricketer's wide-reaching impact, particularly on those who may not have been avid cricket watchers initially. Kohli is one of the most adored cricketers with a massive following on social media.

Gill was spotted in the stands with Munawar Faruqui at an IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), cheering for Virat Kohli.

Kohli continues to be a central figure in Indian cricket. In the recent ICC Women's World Cup, India defeated South Africa by 52 runs. Kohli, among others, shared messages of support and congratulations to the team.
