Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shared a heartfelt story recently. It involved Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli and his personal doctor. Speaking to Star Sports, Albanese revealed an interesting detail that even his personal doctor is a fan of India’s star Virat Kohli.
“My personal doctor is a huge fan of Virat Kohli—fan isn’t quite a word to explain how passionate he is for Virat,” Albanese shared, offering a glimpse into the awe surrounding Kohli. “When I told him I was going to meet Virat, he couldn’t believe it. He even asked me to get an autograph.”
It’s not every day that a Prime Minister finds himself acting as a middleman for autographs, but such is the magnetic charm of Kohli, whose exploits in Australia have carved a unique legacy.
