Virat Kohli is The Lord of The Rings star Charlie Vickers' favorite; actor recalls feeling 'nervous' while crossing paths with cricketer

As an ardent cricket enthusiast and a follower of Indian cinema, I can’t help but feel a surge of admiration when I learn about the intertwining worlds of Virat Kohli and Charlie Vickers. It seems like destiny has woven their paths together, even if just for a brief moment in a hotel lobby in Auckland.


Virat Kohli, an extraordinary cricket player from India, has fans in countless cities worldwide. Not just his supporters, but even his rivals acknowledge his exceptional skill as an athlete. Some renowned international artists also appreciate him and his cricket style. In a recent conversation, the popular Hollywood actor Charlie Vickers disclosed that Kohli is his preferred Indian cricketer.

In a private conversation with News18 Showsha, the actor from The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power shared that, aside from the Australian cricket team, he is an ardent admirer of Virat Kohli. He also reminisced about his past interactions with the renowned Indian figure.

Charlie Vickers reminisced about his time in Auckland. He spoke about an instance when he crossed paths with Kohli at a hotel we were both lodging at. Describing the moment as strange yet unforgettable, the Australian actor commented, “So, I’ll mention him due to that unexpected meeting.”

When asked if he had a chance to greet the renowned Indian sports figure, Charlie admitted he was too anxious. Meanwhile, Medici shared that Shane Warne, the Australian cricketer, could be his key to Bollywood. Vickers then brought up Warne’s music collaboration with Asha Bhosle on the song “You’re The One For Me,” stating that it was through Warne he gained insights about Indian cinema.

During a conversation about India, the actor shared that the cast and crew of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power had been particularly impressed by their visit during the promotion of the first season. Although Charlie wasn’t able to join them due to work obligations, he noted that “many members of the cast speak very fondly of their time there.” He also mentioned that India has gained a reputation among the group for being an exceptional destination for their trip.

Following their triumph at the T20 World Cup and participating in the victory procession in India, Virat Kohli hastily boarded a plane to London to reunite with his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, and their children, Vamika and Akaay. Since the arrival of their second child, the couple has made their home abroad.
