For the uninitiated, 18 happens to be the Indian skipper&#39;s jersey number.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There is so much of technology that children nowadays don&#39;t go out and play..they are more interested in video games and indoor stuff, which wasn&#39;t the case during our times,&quot; Kohli said here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I want to encourage kids to come out and play sports. When I was growing up there were no such facilities but we created our own badminton courts out of a small area. That&#39;s how you develop, it&#39;s not about going to stadiums to play, you can create your own space and play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Delhi lad also urged people to not waste time on mobile and other devices and instead utilise that time for physical fitness and training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We reach a stage where there is an urgent need of going out for walking or jogging, and only then we sort of do it because it is a crisis situation. Don&#39;t wait for the last minute and take time out for fitness daily, which in turn will influence people around you in the right way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s not only about body building or having those big muscular look but its about keeping oneself fit by playing more and more outdoor games,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fresh from a T20 International series win against New Zealand, Kohli will soon be in action when the Indians take on the visiting Sri Lankans in the first of the three-Test series, starting November 16 in Kolkata.<\/p>\r\n",
