Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has once again expressed his admiration for Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli, revealing that although the two sporting greats are yet to meet in person, they have remained in touch over the past few years through messages and mutual support.

Speaking ahead of the 2026 edition of Wimbledon Championships, the 24-time Grand Slam champion shed light on his equation with Kohli and said he hopes to finally meet the former India captain during his planned visit to India. Djokovic even joked that he would love to share both a tennis court and a cricket field with the batting superstar.

“We have not met in person, we have texted, we have been in touch for the last few years, following each other, supporting each other, admiring each other’s careers. Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet him in person and play some tennis, play some cricket. I am also planning to come to India soon, so maybe that’s where we can get the link-up,” Djokovic said.
