Kohli reveals how Shane Warne ‘fooled’ him in IPL 2009

XtraTime Web Desk: India skipper Virat Kohli has revealed that during 2009 Indian Premier League legendary Shane Warne made him look like a fool.


Kohli was doing an Instagram live session with India football skipper Sunil Chhetri and during the chat the latter played a rapid fire round with Kohli.


Chhetri asked Kohli: “You need three runs of the last ball, you can choose the bowler, I am giving you two options– Shane Warne or Waqar Younis”.

Kohli replied: “Firstly Shane Warne hardly bowled during the death overs and secondly I would believe in my ability to score off the yorkers bowled by Waqar Younis.

“Shane Warne made me look like a fool during IPL in 2009. I played him again in 2011 in Rajasthan, nothing significant happened there. He did not get me out, I did not score many runs against him. After the match he came up to me and said never say anything back to the bowler, but obviously I did not listen (laughs),” he added.


In the rapid fire round, Kohli named former South Africa cricketer Jonty Rhodes as the best fielder at backward point.
