Virat Kohli Feels 'Disturbed' About Attack on Indian Soldiers in Uri

Virat Kohli, well known for his passion for the tri-colour, is sad that 18 soldiers lost their lives after terrorists attacked an Indian Army camp in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.

"When these big incidents happen regularly, it feels bad. When we feel bad about it, just think of the families of the soldiers. It's something very disturbing," Kohli said when asked to react on the recent terror strike on Indian soil.

"I can react on this but can't comment on solution because I am not operating at that level. As an Indian it hurts. I can only pay my condolences to the families of the jawans, who suffered in these incidents," he said after India crushed New Zealand by 197 runs to take a 1-0 in the three-Test series, here.

Four commando-style gunmen, armed with AK-47 assault rifles and grenades, burst into the brigade headquarters in Uri at 5:30 am on Sunday.

India accused Pakistan of being behind Sunday's Uri attack, one of the most deadly attacks in Jammu and Kashmir in a quarter-century-old insurgency.

Kohli took to social media to express his tribute to the soldiers who were martyred in the Uri attack.

India and Pakistan have been arch-rivals in sports, especially cricket. In World Cups, India's record against Pakistan is unblemished.

Just like India's ODI and T20 captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli has his links with India's security forces. In 2013, Test skipper Kohli became the brand ambassador of the Border Security Force.
