VIDEO | Ahmedabad, Gujarat: Thousands of kilometres from Buenos Aires and the football-crazy land of Lionel Messi, Argentina's lone representative at the inaugural World Yogasana Championships found inspiration from an Indian sporting icon as she scripted one of the standout performances of the competition. Argentina's Nabila, who returned home with five medals from the championships in Ahmedabad, said Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has been a source of motivation because of the way he has carried his country’s name onto the global stage. "He is a star here in India and he put the country in all the news everywhere around the world. I imagine his career because he is really hardworking and has put your country there. It means a lot, so I try to be inspired by that," Nabila told PTI. (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)
