NBA's Sacramento Kings Owner Lauds Virat Kohli. WATCH

Vivek Ranadive, the owner of the NBA team Sacramento Kings, seized the opportunity to extend his congratulations to Virat Kohli and the Indian team for their impressive campaign in the WC 2023.

In terms of global popularity, former Indian captain Virat Kohli stands at the pinnacle, with a massive fan base not only in India and Asia but all around the world. His performances in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 have had a profound impact on the team, propelling them to the top of the World Cup 2023 points table. Kohli has been in splendid form, accumulating 354 runs in the six innings he has played so far, despite having scored a duck in his recent outing against England.

India extended their winning streak by convincingly defeating England in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 match, securing a victory by a substantial margin of 100 runs. Vivek Ranadive, the owner of the NBA team Sacramento Kings, seized the opportunity to extend his congratulations to Virat Kohli and the Indian cricket team for their impressive campaign in the ICC CWC 2023. In a video message, he expressed his pride in the team's achievements and revealed that he wakes up early every morning in Northern California to watch the men in blue continue their winning streak. In the video, he was seen holding a Team India jersey with Virat Kohli's name on it.

‘You’re Really Messing With My Sleep’

A video featuring Vivek Ranadive has gone viral on social media, demonstrating his deep admiration for Virat Kohli and Team India. The Indian-origin entrepreneur stated that he is a huge fan of Kohli and offered his congratulations, saying, “Hey Virat! Congratulations, you guys won again. And you’re really messing with my sleep because I live in Northern California, and I wake up really early every day to watch the boys in blue play. You keep winning, and winning, and today you beat England.

“I own the Sacramento Kings, and I got your own shirt for you.”

In the match, India struggled to score 229 runs after being put into bat on a challenging wicket. England, known for their batting woes in the World Cup, faced another collapse, managing only 129 runs in their chase. Mohammed Shami delivered an impressive performance, taking 4 wickets for 22 runs in seven overs. India, with the win, are standing at the top of the tournament’s points table having 12 points in 6 matches. They are the only undefeated team in the tournament so far.
