Indian Test captain Virat Kohli will be hosting a charity dinner in Mumbai in June to support the cause of empowerment of underprivileged children and youth. The Virat Kohli Foundation will join hands with the Smile Foundation, a national level development organisation, for the event.

"Children and Youth are the next generation of students, leaders, entrepreneurs, and the future of the country and there is no better tool other than education to empower them.

"This initiative is not just about fulfilling their basic needs, but making them able to take care of their own needs and giving them an opportunity to learn, equipping them to face challenges and preparing them to be tomorrow's leaders. I am glad to be associated with Smile Foundation and contribute towards this endeavour," Kohli said in a statement, reported IANS.

The Indian cricket star will personally host the dinner, which is likely to be attended by cricket stars, Bollywood celebrities, and businessmen. In addition to the dinner, the event will also have an auction of luxury items to raise money for the charity.
