Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has opened up about his minimal social media activity, explaining why he chooses to stay away from frequent online interactions. Speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab’s Indian Sports Summit in Bengaluru on March 15, Kohli shared his perspective on the digital world and its impact.
Despite being one of the most followed athletes globally, the 36-year-old admitted that while technology is a powerful tool, it can be harmful if used without direction.
“I don’t post much on social media because technology without a purpose is destructive. Posting online doesn’t change anything in my life. People’s comments don’t affect me, so I don’t feel the need to post,” Kohli remarked at the event.
