The two popular sportsmen Novak Djokovic, the champion tennis player, and Virat Kohli, the champion cricketer, have been seen showing great respect towards each other despite them being competitors in two entirely different fields of sport. The tennis champion praised his friend during the media interaction session at the Laureus World Sports Awards 2026, held in Madrid.
Novak Djokovic said, "Virat Kohli is a very good friend of mine. I respect him a lot. To be honest, he's the reason I started following cricket seriously." I followed it before, but I followed it even more through him. We keep in touch often.

He also jokingly said, "When I come to India, I hope Virat will be with me. We'll play a little tennis and a little cricket together. We'll have fun together, make good memories, and spread good vibes."
