Kohli Challenges Bolt, Jamaican sprinter Puts Favourite Spikes on The Line
Two aces – the best in the world from their respective sports challenge each other and put possibly their dearest thing on the line.
Kohli recently challenged Usain Bolt with a pair of cricket spikes for the sprinter’s spikes. The Indian skipper posed a question where he asked the Jamaican to guess who will be the next Indian sports star to feature with Puma.
The bet is if Bolt can answer the question correctly, he stands a chance to win the cricket spikes. So, India captain Virat Kohli has a chance to win Usain Bolt’s favourite spikes!
Yo @usainbolt, bet a pair of my favourite Cricket spikes, you can’t guess which Indian cricketer is coming on board with @PUMA next! Just caught wind of the news… 😀

Bolt was not too far behind, he too came up with a reply where he placed his favourite spikes on the line. Bolt took to Twitter and his response was…
Yow @imVkohli , I got the news already! I’m betting a pair of my favorite PUMA Running spikes – I know who this is! He’s fast (but not as fast as me 😉). Let’s wait and see who wins. https://t.co/KKQ8SjddwE

This is not the first time these two superstars have interacted on social media. After Bolt called it time on his amazing career, Virat had posted a video to congratulate him.
Doesn’t matter if it’s your last competitive race, you will always be #ForeverFastest on and off the track @usainbolt. @PumaCricket pic.twitter.com/9tLL8LT6e7

Meanwhile, after losing the Edgbaston Test by 31 runs, Virat Kohli-led India will look to settle scores at Lords during the 2nd Test, starting August 9. Cheteshwar Pujara could be slotted back into the side in place of Shikhar Dhawan.
