"If my words can be of any help, I would like to tell all the athletes and all the people present here that if you can believe, you can achieve anything. I live by that slogan and live with that feeling everyday of my life and it doesn't put any limits to what I can achieve and the same can happen to you as well.
"If you think about it and convince yourself that you can achieve it," Kohli said at the closing ceremony of the 49th All India Central Revenue Sports Meet 2016-17 in suburban Goregaon.
