Marcus Stoinis and Virat Kohli before the start of the match 55 of season 13 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Delhi Capitals and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on the 2nd November 2020. (File/Sportzpics)Australian player Marcus Stoinis, currently representing the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said that he still remains in touch with Indian star Virat Kohli, a connection which goes way back to their U-19 days when Kohli led won the World Cup with his team in 2008.“We’ve known each other for a long time. We’ve got a mutual friend in Perth that has known him for a long time as well. So that’s sort of how that relationship started. But yeah, what a great career it’s been so far. It’s definitely not finished. It seems like he’s worn a few caps throughout his career in terms of being the young guy coming into an Indian team that forced his way in there at such a young age and showed such confidence in himself to crack into such a good team to then leading the team and almost changing the whole culture of Indian cricket and inspiring a lot of the young cricketers around India and around the world,” Stoinis said to PTI.
