Post by: Dr. Amrinder Pal Singh

Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga powerhouse, has designated Indian cricket sensation Virat Kohli as the cross-sport counterpart to their legendary captain and goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer. Kohli, a global sporting icon and the third most-followed athlete on Instagram, has garnered immense popularity, surpassing even football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in social media followers. Responding to a fan's query on X (formerly known as Twitter) about cross-sport equivalents, Bayern Munich named Neuer and Kohli, accompanied by goat emoticons.

In other developments, Bayern Munich faces the possibility of losing the Bundesliga title for the first time in a decade, currently trailing behind Bayer Leverkusen. Additionally, they are behind in the UEFA Champions League after a loss to Lazio in the round of 16 first leg. The club is gearing up to host Lazio at Allianz Arena to keep their hopes alive for a seventh UCL title. Manager Thomas Tuchel is set to depart at the season's end, prompting the search for a replacement.

Meanwhile, cricket icon Virat Kohli, now a father for the second time, opted out of the ongoing series against England due to personal reasons. Initially named in India's squad, he withdrew before the series began, citing the entire series' absence. Kohli shared the joyous news of the birth of his son on social media. After India's series win over England, Kohli expressed his congratulations to the team on X, praising their grit, determination, and resilience.
