It’s not every day you see two of the greatest athletes on the planet fanboying over each other, but Novak Djokovic just revealed that he’s officially hooked on cricket thanks to Virat Kohli. Djokovic, who holds the record for the most Grand Slams in tennis history, admitted that Kohli’s incredible energy and dominance on the pitch are what finally got him interested in the sport. The two superstars have been trading compliments on social media for a while now, proving that greatness recognizes greatness, regardless of whether you’re swinging a racket or a bat.
What makes this “bromance” even cooler is that they haven’t actually met in person yet, despite chatting regularly online. Djokovic has praised Kohli’s fitness and mental toughness, seeing a bit of his own “never-say-die” attitude in the Indian cricket icon. It’s pretty wild to think that a guy who has conquered Wimbledon is now spending his downtime watching cricket highlights. Fans are already crossing their fingers for a face-to-face meeting soon—just imagine the training session those two could have together!
