1/3
People often ask why I seem so ‘pro’ India.
Answer is simple: in over 20 years and dozens of trips, I have NEVER once faced disrespect, negativity, backstabbing or bad energy there.
Not once!
Only love, kindness, loyalty, warmth and respect — every single time.

I’ve made lifelong friendships there that I treasure. Friends who became family. Brothers for life.
I know respect has to be earned — and I like to think I earned mine by producing the goods on the cricket field year after year, giving my everything! Whether it was against India or for an IPL team.
3/3
When a country and its people give you nothing but pure positive energy your entire adult life, that love gets returned tenfold.
India gave me its heart first.
So India will always have mine.
Forever grateful. KP ❤️
One of those people who made our grandparents go crazy through his writing.
His writing will stay here and teach and amaze generations to come.
Was fortunate enough to meet and talk to him at MangaloreLitFest this year.

How does one bring back the same passion once it is lost?
I guess we'll never know.
Thank you for all the thrills and memories @imVkohli
The man who taught how to play cricket using the mind.
