Kohli was very active, very hyper and very naughty guy: Rajkumar 

Virat Kohli and his friend Shall Sondhi were both members of Rajkumar Sharma's cricket coaching academy. The coach claimed that the former RCB captain knew he wanted to play international cricket from the day he joined the academy.  

“On May 30, 1998, he came to me with his brother and his father. Within a few days we could see that he was very different from others, very active, very hyper and very naughty guy. He was very determined and dedicated, he wanted to dominate from Day 1. He had tremendous self-belief that I can do anything. Shalaj and Virat were very thick friends from my academy,” Rajkumar Sharma said.
