Virat Kohli Reveals ‘Inconvenient’ Truth Behind Viral Post: ‘The One Time You Truly Fail…’ | Cricket News
The Indian cricket team landed in Perth early on Thursday after a delayed trip from Delhi, ahead of their three-match ODI series against Australia starting October 19. Led by Shubman Gill, the team comprising senior players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, arrived around 4 am IST after a four-hour delay in Delhi and a rescheduled stopover in Singapore.
Due to heightened security measures at Perth Airport, fans were unable to get close to the players, who went straight to their hotel rooms after the long flight. Soon after landing, Kohli set social media abuzz with a cryptic message that read: “The only time you truly fail is when you decide to give up. The phrase quickly went viral, with supporters speculating about its meaning. Some saw it as a motivational message, others saw it as a hint that the veteran batter had set his sights on the 2027 ODI World Cup.Check out what Virat Kohli posted here But within a few hours, the buzz took an unexpected turn. Nearly two hours after his original post, Kohli followed it up with another – this time, a promotional video for a fashion brand. This left many fans in a tricky situation, as what was initially thought to be a personal statement turned out to be part of a brand partnership. Meanwhile, on the field, Kohli continued to be the center of attention. Some Indian players took part in an optional practice session later in the day, during which Kohli and Rohit Sharma were seen batting in the nets.
