Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli admitted that breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries would be an emotional moment for him. Kohli, who is just three short of equalling Tendulkar's record of most ODI centuries in the world, shared his thoughts on reaching that milestone. "It will be a very emotional moment for me," said Kohli.
The cricketer further added that sports teach discipline, planning, and important values of life, making a person more productive. Kohli shared an incident from his school days when the vice-principal advised him to follow cricket religiously, taking off the pressure of studies from him.
The Indian football team skipper Sunil Chhetri also features in 'PUMA's Let There Be Sport' documentary series, where he revealed why he thought of giving up on football at the age of 17. The six-part docu-series takes a deep dive into the journeys of six Indian sporting legends, including Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, MC Mary Kom, Chhetri, Harmanpreet Kaur, and para-athlete Avani Lekhara.
The series showcases the role and impact of sports and fitness in their lives, with each athlete sharing compelling stories of their journeys. Harmanpreet Kaur shared her experience of convincing girls from her school to build a cricket team. Meanwhile, Yuvraj talked about how the young Indian team added fuel to Indo-Australia rivalry with fearless cricket in 2007.
Mary Kom and Avani also shared their stories, emphasising the need to give sports more prominence and encouraging Indians to engage in sporting activities. The docu-series is a great way to showcase the importance of sports and fitness in an individual's life.
