Virat Kohli also plays football with a lot of passion as he recently demonstrated in the charity match against Bollywood. The match was an even contest and was 2-2 at the end.
The player is currently given rest for the upcoming test season as he has been playing some believable cricket in 2016. He has managed a whopping 973 runs in IPL and has also been declared the man of the tournament for 2016 T20 World Cup which was held in India earlier.
A break is ideal for Virat Kohli after such an intense first half of 2016, as he will be planning to enjoy his holidays with Euro 2016.
Germany are looking to win the trophy back as they last won it 20 years ago in 1996. They are placed Group C alongside Poland, Ukraine, and Northern Ireland.
