Virat Kohli adopts 15 dogs from a Bengaluru animal rescue centre

The captain of the Indian Cricket Team comes across as a very tough guy on the field, and also off it when he deals with the media. He doesn’t like to sugarcoat his words and is pretty straight forward. The Royal Challengers Bangalore captain is a guy who will never back off, not even a step. But his soft-heartedness is very evident when it comes to animals, especially dogs.  Often he takes to social media to spread awareness about animal safety. Recently, Kohli visited a dog orphanage in Bengaluru, and his smile, in the pictures that have surfaced on social media after his visit, says how fond he is of dogs.

Kohli visited CARE – Charlie’s Animal Rescue Centre – and the people who run the place were surprised with his visit.

“It was simply unbelievable this morning to see Virat Kohli’s car pulling up inside the gates of CARE,” a post on Facebook by the centre said.

The post further said that everyone is aware of the RCB captain’s love for dogs and that they were lucky to see that love live.

“His love for dogs is common knowledge, and the fact that we happened to witness it in its purest form was a wonderful, indescribable feeling. He met Dash at the reception, said hello to Captain, walked around the entire place, keenly listening to our Founder trustee Miss Sudha Narayanan and Dr Lohith talk about CARE.

According to CARE, Kohli has already adopted 15 dogs from the centre and “expressed that we choose those 15 that have special needs that are paraplegic, blind and chronically ill.”

As far as IPL is concerned, Kohli’s team has not been performing well. They lost their last two home games to become the current wooden-spooners of IPL 10. Shane Watson and Chris Gayle have underperformed so far, and the bowling department has also disappointed.
