Key facts
- Djokovic said he is 'planning to come to India'
- Hinted at a cricket collaboration with Virat Kohli
- Djokovic is a 24-time Grand Slam champion
Novak Djokovic has set pulses racing among Indian sports fans after publicly revealing that he is planning to come to India and has discussed a possible cricket collaboration with Virat Kohli, as reported by Firstpost.
Djokovic's comments were unambiguous — the Serbian tennis legend expressed a genuine desire to visit India and hinted at a joint appearance or session with Kohli, one of cricket's biggest global names. The prospect of two of sport's most decorated and recognisable icons sharing a cricketing moment in India has immediately captured the imagination of fans across the country.
Djokovic has long been known for his love of sports beyond tennis, and his interest in cricket is not entirely surprising given the game's global reach and the personal friendship many elite athletes share across disciplines. Kohli, for his part, has remained one of India's most influential sporting personalities even after stepping back from certain captaincy roles.
While no specific date or format for the collaboration has been confirmed, Djokovic's public statement — 'planning to come to India' — is the clearest sign yet that this crossover may move from fantasy to reality. It would mark a remarkable moment for Indian sport, uniting its biggest cricketing icon with the greatest male tennis player of the modern era.
