Some songs stay with us forever, reminding us of our own journeys and stories. Cricketer Virat Kohli has one special song by musician Karan Aujla that he often goes back to, resonating with it on a personal level.
At the One8 global premiere, Virat shared that his favourite song is 'Winning Speech' by Karan Aujla, saying it captures the journey he's gone through and shares similarities with his own journey.
'You write songs from the heart. The one I resonate with most is 'Winning Speech' because it probably captures the journey you've gone through. I can see similarities with my own journey as well. I lost my dad when I was pretty young too, so that song is quite special for me. I've often listened to it before going out to play matches,' Kohli said.
Kohli also spoke about his never-say-die attitude, citing the example of his match-winning effort against Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. He explained that he's made to believe in himself, even when the odds are against him.
'I'm made this way. I almost crave situations when people feel like it's gone and then somehow you can manage to pull the game back. That's just how I look at the situations from a very young age. And I've never stopped believing, right till the very end, that the game is lost or we can't win. And some magical things have happened.'
