Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana, who has won accolades in the Women's Premier League, recently made a serious statement regarding Virat Kohli. Mandhana believes that it would be wrong to assess Kohli's achievements in comparison to the achievements of her team. Under his leadership, RCB achieved the glory of becoming champions in the Women's Premier League by defeating Delhi Capitals, while his men's team failed to achieve this accomplishment. Mandhana said, "Titles do not define many things. We all respect him." She compared it to the jersey number 18, stating that the jersey number is merely a personal preference and does not indicate the player's style of play. She said, "He is inspirational to us in many ways, so I would not say that anything should be defined by the title."
