The Simmba star said he was proud of Kohli.

“He’s well on his way to being hailed as the greatest of all time. Leading our country like a true alpha warrior. Yeh naya India hai, aur yeh banda naye India ka hero hai (This is a new India, and this guy is the hero of the new India)” Ranveer said, sharing a few pictures with Kohli from the post match presentation ceremony.

The actor previously shared photos with cricket icons Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Brian Lara and current Indian playing XI Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul.
