Kohli revealed in a video shared by the BCCI how he got talking with Djokovic after the Serb said that they had been texting each other for a couple of years.
“I got in touch with Novak very organically, I think on I was I was just looking at his profile once on Instagram, and I just happened to press the message button and thought I would just say hello. And then I saw a message from him on my DM already. I had never opened it myself. I was like, let me just check if it’s a fake account or something like that. But then I checked it again and it was legitimate. And then yeah, we got talking. We keep exchanging messages every now and then. I congratulated him for all his amazing achievements,” said Kohli.
He added by wishing Djokovic all the best for the Australian Open in 2024 and expressed confidence that the world will see the best of him at the tournament.
