So I think it hit me, and I think that conversation completely changed my perspective, she added. The 31-year-old also revealed that she remains in touch with Kohli and shares her achievements with him. Whenever I win, I just share my happiness, saying that you know I have won this or that, and recently I met him, so it is always so good to meet, you know, a person who has achieved so much and to get a few of those inputs from him, Sindhu said. Reflecting on Kohlis approach to sport, Sindhu said she continues to admire the way he carries himself and performs under pressure. The way he thinks whenever he goes out there, looking at him how he shows up and how he plays and what he is, I think hats off to him for whatever he has done, she added.
