PV Sindhu says that Virat Kohli’s advice helped change her outlook during a difficult period in her career. She describes their relationship as close, saying Kohli is a “brother figure,” and that he shared guidance she found valuable when she was struggling.
According to the reports, Kohli encourages Sindhu to stay true to her authentic playing style rather than adjusting her approach out of pressure. Sindhu says that this message, delivered at a time when she felt at her lowest, helped her focus on overcoming challenges in a different way. She adds that she continues to learn from Kohli’s experiences and achievements as they support each other in their respective fields.
Both outlets present the same core account—Sindhu’s personal reflection on Kohli’s role and the specific theme of authenticity in her play—without major differences in emphasis.
