Kohli was asked about who his favourite athlete is and
what he would do if he woke up as his icon. The star Indian cricketer said,
“Cristiano Ronaldo!” is his favourite athlete. “I would do a
scan of my brain (if I woke up as Ronaldo) and see where all that mental
strength comes from,” Kohli responded to the second question.

Kohli, who has been playing for the franchise since
2008, also shared his experience of playing for RCB and the heartbreaks.

“IPL final 2016 and that same year, 2016 T20
World Cup semifinal at Wankhede against West Indies,” Kohli said recalling
the heartbreaking moments.

In the 2016 IPL, Kohli was in the form of his life
when he amassed 973 runs in 16 matches. To date, no other cricketer could score
as many runs as Kohli did at an average of 81.08 in a single season of IPL.

Asked about his most memorable moment, the former RCB
captain picked the franchise’s win against Gujarat Lions in the IPL 2016
qualifier 1.

“The last game that we played in 2016 was against
Delhi in Raipur. And then the very next qualifier, when AB (de Villiers) played
a gun knock and Iqbal was with him at the other end.

“The celebration after that game was the most
special that I have ever experienced,” Kohli signed off.

The IPL video also featured India and RCB pacer
Mohammed Siraj and skipper Faf du Plessis who picked Roger Federer as his
favourite athlete.

RCB will face Rajasthan Royals in their third match of
the season on Tuesday.
