Virat Kohli wishes to run as fast as legendary Usian Bolt
INDIA SKIPPER Virat Kohli has expressed his gratitude to Usian Bolt after the Jamaican sprinter congratulated the prolific batsman for signing a whopping Rs. 110 crore deal with Puma.
Kohli, who became Puma’s brand ambassador, bagged an eight-year endorsement contract to become the first Indian sportsperson to grab a single deal worth Rs 100 crore or above. It is learnt that although former Indian skippers MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar have been a part of the Rs 100 crore club, they had done so with multi-year contracts with various brands.
Bolt, who endorses Puma, took to his official twitter account to congratulate Kohli.
“Great choice @imVkohli
— Usain St. Leo Bolt (@usainbolt) February 20, 2017
Time to go to the next level #ForeverFaster”
Responding to Bolt’s tweet, Kohli expressed his desire to run as fast as the Olympic great.
I wish I could get as fast as you someday @usainbolt. Thanks legend. @PUMA #ForeverFaster
