Virat Kohli, the legendary cricketer, has sent a token of appreciation to Tamil Nadu CM C. Joseph Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay. The gift has defined the bond between the Indian cricketer and CM Vijay.
Virat Kohli has never involved himself in politics, but he is one of the most influential figures in the modern world. He has friendly relations with several known entities in India and has hence congratulated Tamil Nadu's new CM, Vijay, with a personalised gift.
Virat Kohli honours Tamil Nadu CM Vijay with a special reward.
C. Joseph Vijay is once again making headlines, but this time for not being appointed the new CM of the state of Tamil Nadu. Vijay and his newly formed party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, won a majority of 108 seats, and he was sworn in as the Chief Minister on the 10th of May, 2026.
The Indian cricketer handed the actor-turned-politician a special gift—a cricket bat signed by the Indian star himself. Photos of Vijay proudly posing with the bat in the Tamil Nadu secretariat quickly went viral on social media.
The bat was presented by officials from MRF during a meeting with the Tamil Nadu CM. It was reported that the meeting featured many big shots like Chairman KM Mammen, Vice Chairman Arun Mammen, and Managing Director Rahul Mammen and was focused on MRF's business activities and operations in the state.
