Liam Livingstone Describes Virat Kohli's On-Field Competitiveness and Off-Field PrivacyPreviousNext

England cricketer Liam Livingstone, a former Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate, described Virat Kohli as highly competitive on the field but relaxed and family-oriented off it. Livingstone noted Kohli's discomfort with constant public attention in India, which partly motivated his move to London with his family in 2024. Kohli continues to return to India for cricket and other commitments. Livingstone also praised RCB's recent strategic changes under new management that encouraged Kohli's aggressive playing style.
