Who knew the ace cricketer was so multi-talented?

Updated 09 Jun, 2016

Is there anything Virat Kohli can't do?

The Indian cricket sensation is now all set to make his singing debut. In collaboration with A.R. Rahman, Kohli will be recording the theme song for an upcoming football league, Premier Futsal League,

What an honour to have spent some time with this legend today. Genius at work, epitome of humility. Thank you mr rahman for all the great memories and the songs you've given to this nation. #legend#respect

While Virat will do the vocals, Rahman will be composing the official anthem.

Earlier this year, Virat was announced as the brand ambassador for the league, which is scheduled to kick off on 15 July this year.

According to Bollywood Hungama, the 27-year-old athlete mentioned in an interview that he was under a lot of pressure sitting next to A.R. Rahman than he ever is on field; he also said that he truly admired him and talked about his childhood memories when he felt a connection to the maestro's tunes.

The song is titled 'Naam Hai Futsal' and it is reported that Virat will be rapping in the song!

No. Although he is a good batsman , but he comes across to have a totally fake personality. Heavily influenced by Indian media ratings. A show-off he is and nothing else.

Cricketer promoting football in the country. This is the transition period of Indian sport. Slowly & steadily India is becoming a sport nation.

Yasir - I do not know why you think he is "A show-off and nothing else" Pritam - You currently do not believe that he can sing, you want to wait. Brothers, both of you are influenced towards Virat. Yasir in a negative way and Pritam in a positive way. Yasir - By the time Virar retires after he playing matches as many as Sachin played and continues to be in the form he is, then his records are beyond imagination of being broken.

@yasir Just like PAK media that touted Shehzad as PAK's answer to Kohli and now the world has seen the massive difference between fake and real.

@yasir I agree, specially when he said that Amir is talented and his comeback is welcomed, I knew he was faking it all.

@yasir - By the way Virat can sing....i've heard him singing Punjabi songs....so don't judge him or hate him just because he is too good! Lots of fans in Pakistan really look up to him for inspiration..
