There has to be a cosmic connection with the number: Kohli on his jersey no. 18

Ex-India captain Virat Kohli said there has to be a "cosmic connection" with his jersey number 18. Kohli stated the number was "just given" to him when he got his Under-19 jersey. "It ended up becoming...very important number in my life. My debut for India came on August 18, 2008. My father passed away on December 18, 2006," he said.
