MUMBAI: Indian skipper Virat Kohli has joined teammate Rohit Sharma and former England batsman Kevin Pietersen in an anti-poaching campaign that was unveiled Sunday.
Kohli had posted a photograph on his official Instagram account in which he was wearing a ‘Save Our Rhinos Africa India’ (SORAI) band.
He wrote the following: “I’m very happy to support @sorai2018 in their goal to stop the illegal poaching of our beautiful animals. Please go to http://www.sorai.com.au and donate to the Boucher Legacy on the homepage. The animals need our help! #SORAI”
SORAI was extremely pleased with Kohli’s decision and said, “Thank you @virat.kohli you beauty!”
Kohli’s stocks continue to rise as last week, he featured in TIME’s list of 100 most influential people from around the world in 2018. He was among one of six sportspersons included in the list, alongside the likes of tennis legend Roger Federer.
