Virat Kohli's admiration for Roger Federer is well known and the former India skipper shared a heartfelt video for the Swiss Maestro, as he retired from professional tennis.

Virat, who has met Federer twice, first in 2015 and then in 2018, congratulated the 20-time Grand Slam champion on a phenomenal career. The video was shared by Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) on their social media handles. 

"I personally had the chance to meet you in Australian Open in 2018, something that I'll never ever forget in my life. One thing that stood out for me even watching you play, was the fact that so many people around the world, not just in the world of tennis got behind you, supporting you and that kind of unity I've never seen for any other individual athlete ever. That is something that cannot be created, that cannot be generated in anyway."

"You had that special ability always. It was very evident when we watched you play and the aura you brought on court is unmatchable. And for me, you're always going to be the greatest of all time. I'm sure in the next phase of your life you're going to have as much fun and as much enjoyment as you did on the court. I wish you all the best and your family as well. Take care."
