Royal Challengers Bengaluru
(RCB) gearing up for a crucial clash against the formidable Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, opener
Virat Kohli
has revealed an unexpected fear in a viral video.
Kohli, who is currently representing the Bangalore-based franchise in the IPL, shared his apprehension about turbulence while traveling.
In a candid moment captured in the RCB Podcast Trailer, the former RCB skipper confessed to feeling terrified during flights, particularly when encountering bad turbulence.
"I am very scared of turbulence. Oh my god, I look so stupid and like a fool. Whenever there is bad turbulence, I am the first guy to hold the sides of the seat. So I feel like, I am the gone," Kohli revealed, shedding light on a personal fear seldom seen on the cricket field.
Despite his fear of air travel, Kohli has been displaying remarkable form in the ongoing 17th edition of the IPL. The prolific right-hand batter has already notched up a century and amassed 316 runs in just five matches, boasting an impressive average of 105.33.
