Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has made a big move off the field by investing in a Bengaluru-based sportswear and athleisure brand called Agilitas. This comes after he ended his long-term partnership with Puma, a global sports brand he had been associated with for the past few years. According to reports by Moneycontrol, Kohli is set to have invested ₹40 crore in the first tranche.
Agilitas is a new Indian startup founded by Abhishek Ganguly. The company is aiming to build a strong Indian sportswear brand that can grow internationally. Kohli will not only be an investor but will also be actively involved in business decisions at Agilitas.
This is a big step for Kohli as he moves from being just a brand ambassador to becoming a serious entrepreneur. His decision to support a homegrown brand like Agilitas shows his belief in Indian startups and their ability to compete on the global stage. Kohli's involvement will likely help Agilitas gain popularity and grow quickly in the competitive sports fashion market.
In simple words, Virat Kohli is now helping build and promote an Indian sportswear brand, showing his support for local businesses and preparing for a future beyond cricket.
'Yahan Pe Ye Nahi...': Rohit Sharma Recalls Funny Chat With Suryakumar Yadav During IND Vs ENG T20 WC 2024 Semifinal Win; Video
Indian captain Rohit Sharma recently shared a funny behind-the-scenes moment from the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal against England. In a recent chat with Star Sports, Rohit recalled a light-hearted but serious talk he had with teammate Suryakumar Yadav on the field.
During Liam Livingstone’s over, Surya told Rohit that he would go after the bowler and Rohit could relax. But Rohit replied jokingly, “Yahan pe ye nahi chalega” (That won’t work here). He told Surya, “If the ball comes in my area, I’ll hit it too. We both need to go for it.
This funny conversation was also an important moment. Together, Rohit and Surya made a strong 73-run partnership. Rohit scored 57 runs and Surya made 47. Thanks to their efforts, India scored 171 runs. Later, India bowled out England for just 103 runs and won the match by 68 runs.
That win took India to the final, where they defeated South Africa and won the T20 World Cup after 17 years. Rohit also retired from T20 Internationals after the win. He played 159 T20 matches, scored over 4,200 runs, and ended on a high by lifting the World Cup trophy.
This funny moment with Surya showed how Rohit uses humour and strong leadership even during big matches. It was a reminder of why he’s one of the best captains in Indian cricket history.
