'Nice Tagline To Use': Did Virat Kohli Take A Dig At ‘RoKo’ Promotions Ahead Of India Vs West Indies ODIs? | VIDEO

Virat Kohli’s return to the India ODI team has reignited discussions about the 'RoKo' nickname, which has now come under the microscope ahead of the three-match series against the West Indies. During a recent interview with Star Sports, Kohli was asked about the popular moniker during a conversation with Abhinav Mukund. His response, particularly his description of it as a "very nice tagline," has piqued the interest of cricket fans.

According to Kohli, the 'RoKo' tag emerged after he and Rohit Sharma had played together for an extended period, and fans have embraced it, finding it fun and catchy. Acknowledging its widespread acceptance, Kohli remarked that the nickname "sounds nice, it sounds good, and people are having a lot of fun with it." He further added that, from a broadcasters' point of view, the phrase "has got a ring to it," and is beneficial for them as well.

While Kohli's comments can be viewed as a lighthearted observation on the popularity of the 'RoKo' tag, he did not point fingers at broadcasters or suggest that the nickname should not be used. Instead, his remarks highlighted both its appeal among fans and its usefulness in promoting matches featuring the two star batters. Given the timing of his comments, with India set to face the West Indies in the upcoming ODI series, Kohli appears to have embraced the growing popularity of the 'RoKo' tag.
