Virat Kohli shared on social media the book, rather the autobiography, that has been the reason for his growth and success as a person and as a cricketer. The book titled ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ is by Paramahansa Yogananda.
Kohli’s coach Rajkumar Sharma had shared that plenty of reasons for Kohli’s improvement lies in his interest in books and music. The India skipper has also shared recently that because he doesn’t have many close people in his life, it helps him focus more on his cricket.
Only recently, Kohli became the only player to score double centuries in four consecutive series, surpassing the great Donald Bradman and former India captain Rahul Dravid.
The Delhi-born took to social media on Saturday and shared the reason behind his brilliant success in the recent past. Kohli credited a book titled, 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda as one of the reasons behind his rise as a batsman and a cricketer.
Kohli urged the people of the country to read the book and wrote on Instagram, "I love this book. A must read for all those who are brave enough to let their thoughts and ideologies be challenged. The understanding and implementation of the knowledge in this book will change your whole perspective and life. Believe in the divine and keep marching on doing good deeds #onelove #begrateful #helponeanother."
The book is considered a modern spiritual classic and has been translated into more than twenty languages while being used as a text and reference work in colleges and universities. The book has remained as a bestseller since it was first published sixty years ago (in 1946), ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ has reportedly found its way into the hearts of millions of readers around the world.
