Along with that, another special moment was captured on camera, involving Virat Kohli. He cut the ribbon of the newly inaugurated academy along with his childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma. This shows that even though Kohli has been a global icon in the game, he has still not forgotten the roots which shaped him.
Our Take
Kohli's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, continues to be a crucial part of his journey. While Kohli has worked with several coaches such as Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble, Gautam Gambhir, and more, the role of Rajkumar Sharma will remain vital. He shaped Kohli to help him stand where he is now, and Kohli knows well how to stand up for his coach whenever needed. And with him being the face of the game, the young talents will surely show a lot of interest in the branches of the West Delhi Cricket Academy.
