Virat Kohli is currently in England as he is preparing for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. The clash will take place at the Oval, starting from 7-11 June 2023. But, now, reports have come out that Kohli is going to attend the FA Cup final on 3 June at Wembley along with his wife, Anushka Sharma.
Manchester City will take on Manchester United in the final at Wembley. However, United have already bagged a trophy this year by winning the Carabao Cup. While City have already won the Premier League with 89 points in 38 games. United finished in third position with 75 points in 38 games.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are the brand ambassadors of PUMA
Speaking of Kohli, the former Team India skipper has always shared his love and admiration for Football. He has always shared how Cristiano Ronaldo has always inspired him over the years. For Ronaldo, he used to be a Manchester United fan. Then, as Ronaldo went to Real Madrid and Juventus, he also started to support those clubs.
In an old interaction with Fifa.com, Kohli said: “I support Juventus now because of Cristiano. Simple. I support every club at which he plays. He inspires me. I like watching Portugal play now because they are maximising their resources along with having a legend in their team. They play with passion and belief, so I like watching them. Otherwise, in terms of pure ability and impact, France are very, very strong.”
Meanwhile, PUMA is the sponsor of the City while both Kohli and Anushka are the brand ambassadors of the same brand. Hence, they have invited them to watch the final at Wembley. However, Virat Kohli is coming off after having a good IPL season with the bat for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He scored 639 runs in 14 games and finished the tournament in the fourth position in the race for the Orange Cap.
Here is how fans have reacted to the news:
