New Delhi, Feb 7 (PTI) German sports brand Puma on Wednesday affirmed its association with India's star batter Virat Kohli.
Rejecting the reports that Kohli is considering ending its 8-year-old deal as its brand ambassador, Puma India Managing Director Karthik Balagopalan said the association still continues.
"PUMA's relationship with Virat Kohli is long-standing and continues," Balagopalan said.
There were reports that the ace cricketer may end its association with Puma and may join Agilitas Sports as its brand ambassador.
