"Do I look the pooja-path types?" - Virat Kohli once said in viral video

Virat Kohli, during the 2016 T20 World Cup, had said that he doesn't follow any spiritual guides The 36-year-old said (via india.com):

"Do I look the pooja-path types? (Do I look like I do prayers and worship?) When I started, a lot about me was wrong. I was the tattoo guy, the one who wore stylish clothes. It is very easy to focus on the negative stuff but I choose not do that. The basic thinking is I want to improve as a cricketer every day."

"I make sure I do all the hard work and hope it pays off one day. I back myself to go out there and win the game. As a cricketer, you don't have a long career. For me, it is an opportunity. Once you get addicted to it (performing), you want more and more of it. You work so hard and you want that satisfaction," he added.

Virat Kohli began his spiritual journey after getting married to Anushka in December 2017.
