New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy says he was impressed by Virat Kohli’s humility and work ethic during their time together at Royal Challengers Bengaluru. All three outlets report that Duffy describes Kohli as staying grounded despite his status as a major sporting figure, and that he created a welcoming environment for teammates.

The coverage centers on personal impressions rather than on-field details, with Duffy highlighting Kohli’s approach in the RCB setup. India Today and NDTV emphasize Kohli’s down-to-earth nature, with NDTV adding that Duffy viewed Kohli as even more notable “back home,” describing him with a religious-level reverence. Times of India similarly frames Duffy’s comments around Kohli’s attitude, including how overseas players felt included.

Across outlets, the story context remains the same—Duffy’s reflections from his RCB stint—while emphasis varies between humility, work ethic, and team-mix inclusiveness for overseas players.
