NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli, the current Indian cricket superstar, has appealed to the country's supporters to back the country's Olympic team. He wants them to accompany the athletes as "they inch closer to the podium with dogged determination" in the quadrennial extravaganza that starts in Paris from July 26.
Kohli stated that it is time for India to be acknowledged as a major force in international sports in a little over a minute-long social media video that included some sportsmen headed to Paris, including javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra and boxing prospect Nishant Dev.
