Team India’s energetic star Virat Kohli, known for his passion on the field, prefers to unwind by listening to music when he’s off-duty. During non-practice hours, Kohli is often seen with his headphones or Bluetooth speakers, immersing himself in music. While many assume that the Delhi-born cricketer is a fan of Bollywood music, it turns out he has a surprising liking for South Indian songs.

In a recent live interaction, when asked about his current favorite song, Kohli pulled out his phone and played a Tamil track he’s been listening to on loop. The song is ‘Nee Singam Dhaan’ from the Tamil movie ‘Pathu Thala’, starring Simbu (Silambarasan). Kohli proudly revealed it as his "most favorite" track at the moment. The video was shared by RCB (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) on their official social media handle and quickly went viral.

Reacting to the post, actor Simbu reshared the video with the caption “You are truly a lion!” in praise of Kohli. The post has been widely shared, and fans are celebrating the mutual admiration between the cricketer and the actor with enthusiastic responses.

Meanwhile, discussions around a biopic on Virat Kohli have been ongoing for some time. Reports from Bollywood media suggest that Simbu might be considered to play Kohli’s role. Simbu’s recent beard style, which closely resembles Kohli’s iconic look, has further fueled these rumors. Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor had earlier expressed interest in portraying Kohli if a biopic were ever made.

On the cricketing front, Kohli is shining in the ongoing IPL 2025 season, delivering consistent performances. With 443 runs from 10 matches, he has impressed fans with multiple half-centuries and is currently ranked 5th in the Orange Cap race.
