'He thought I was Superman or something'

Life can get a little bizarre for a superstar of Indian cricket. Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, discovers exactly how bizarre in a Telegraph interview with Virat Kohli, who talks to him about the pressures of being constantly in the spotlight, the fitness regime that has made him the athlete he is today, and his interactions with his idol Sachin Tendulkar.

"I came out of security in the airport and there was this one guy who came up to me. I told security to calm down. He stood next to me and said 'show me your hands'. I held them out and he touched them and it was as if a flow of current went through his body. I said 'bloody hell'. I was so embarrassed. I think he thought I was Superman or something.

"When I go away from India I go for a walk alone for an hour. You do get recognised in countries that play cricket but they will wave and walk off. That is nice. That is fine to not have someone barge into your space.

"In India it can be difficult to control it. So when you go to play Australia or South Africa I usually do not make plans with anyone. I just walk around to get a feel of what it is like to just walk down the street. It is amazing. It is the best thing ever. I just put my music on, walk and go nowhere in particular. It is best thing in the world to be able to spend some time alone with myself."
