You may be a legend .
You may have all the records to your name .
But ,
what defines you as a human being ,
is your humility.
Loved this million dollar picture of Virat Kohli with Sir Wes Hall as he presented his book to him .
Wes Hall , a legend of his times who knew nothing else but bowling fast .
Yes , Kohli may be the modern great but in the 1960s , Hall was a brand . He defined what fast bowling was with his fiery pace .
For the records , he took 192 wickets in 48 Tests, claimed their first Test hat-trick in 1959 and bowled the final over in the famous Tied Test with Australia in 1960.
He is 86 now and still fit as a fiddle .
By giving due respect and showing gratitude to Sir Wes Hall , Kohli has elevated himself to a different league beyond the record books .
In your life ,
never disregard seniors ,
never boast of you status ,
never boast of your wealth ..
Be humble and always remain grounded 🙌
Loved how Wes Hall acknowledged Virat by writing these beautiful lines -
“To Virat Kohli..
The world's greatest batsman of this generation.
Best wishes.”
