Kohli also has been active sports personality fighting for equal rights for women on various platforms. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, India’s swashbuckling batsman apologised on behalf of all the anti-social elements in the world who disrespect women and their status in society.

Dear girls, Sorry for the jerks, the whistlers, the cat-callers, the blank-callers, the won’t-stop-starers, the “frandship” stalkers, the “accidental” brushers, the glass-ceiling makers. Please don’t let them ruin it for the rest of us. Happy Women’s Day,” Kohli wrote on his official fashion brand Wrogn’s Facebook page.

However, this is not the first time Kohli has taken an initiative to support women in society.
