Virat Kohli's Off-Field Masterstroke: Sakshi Chaudhary Credits Him After CWG Gold
Boxer says Kohli's support and advice helped her stay focused during the toughest phase of her career.
India's Commonwealth Games 2026 gold medallist Sakshi Chaudhary has revealed that cricket star Virat Kohli has been quietly supporting and sponsoring her for the past three years.
The boxer said Kohli stood by her during some of the most challenging moments of her career, offering both financial support and valuable encouragement. According to Sakshi, one piece of advice from Kohli made a lasting impact: focus on giving your best instead of worrying about expectations.
Sakshi's journey to the Commonwealth Games gold was far from easy. She battled injuries, switched weight categories, and defeated several top opponents during the selection trials before clinching the women's 51kg boxing gold medal.
While Virat Kohli is celebrated for his achievements on the cricket field, Sakshi's revelation has highlighted another side of the former India captain—his quiet support for athletes from other sports.
Details of the sponsorship arrangement have not been made public, and the information is based on Sakshi Chaudhary's own statements. Her remarks have drawn widespread appreciation for Kohli's efforts to encourage and uplift Indian sport beyond cricket.
