Cricket improves you as a human being: Kohli's message to kids
Skipper Virat Kohli enjoyed some quality time playing cricket with school children ahead of India's match against Afghanistan at Southampton.
"I believe cricket can really make a difference to children's lives. It really improves you as a human being because it makes you go through phases which are very similar to life," Kohli said in a video posted by the official website of the Cricket World Cup.
"You understand downfalls; you understand good phases and how to come back from difficult times. So, I think cricket is really a great teacher in many ways," he added.
Favourites India are yet to face defeat in the tournament. They registered commanding victories over South Africa, Australia and Pakistan while their game against New Zealand was washed out.
