Kohli collaborates with Nazara Games, Cornerstone sport to create a mobile game on cricket
Indian Test captain Virat Kohli is set to have a game on him with a leading mobile game publisher announcing the launch of Virat Cricket Challenge.

As they say men will be men and we love everything about technology and gaming," Kohli said in a statement.
Manish Agarwal, the CEO of Nazara Games, added, "Virat is very popular character among the cricket lovers and he has got a huge fan following, we wish to take this love on to the gaming platform and to millions of Indian gamers. A game on Virat perfectly fits into our Make in India, Made for India portfolio.
