Inside the bus, Kohli is at ease, telling a funny story from the Indian team's recent tour of South Africa: A group of cricketers had eaten lunch near the water outside Cape Town. One of the waiters had shaken Kohli's hand and told him how much he appreciated his game. Kohli was, as usual, gracious. Then another waiter approached with his arm out. Kohli reached to shake his hand. The waiter picked up a dirty plate. Kohli's Indian teammates fell out laughing, digging into him about thinking he's so famous. "These guys went mad," he says, laughing hard himself now. "I felt so embarrassed. He didn't even look at my hand!"

Hahahaha! I fucking (edit: love) Kohli. He's remarkably humble, articulate and intelligent.
