Virat Kohli with wife Anushka Sharma
The Virat Kohli Foundation has inaugurated a trauma and rehab centre for stray animals at Madh, Malad in Mumbai. Earlier this year, India cricket captain Kohli had said that he was setting up two animal care facilities in Mumbai.
Kohli credited his wife Anushka Sharma for making him see the difficulties faced by stray animals in the city.
"I admire Anushka's dedication towards the welfare of animals, and I have drawn my inspiration from her. It is our dream to create a safer space for the stray animals of our city. We are excited to announce that the centre is ready, and hope to make a difference through this noble initiative," Kohli said in a statement.
The centre will treat injured stray animals in the area, and a team of ten experts will be in charge of running the operation, in collaboration with Vivaldis Animal Health and Awaaz Voice of Stray Animals.
