Indian national cricket team batsman Virat Kohli won the hearts of his fans with a heartwarming gesture ahead of the first Test against the Bangladesh national cricket team. The first Test between the teams begins on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The Indian national cricket team players, along with Virat Kohli, have gathered in Chennai to prepare for the first Test match against the Bangladesh national cricket team. The Indian team started preparations on Friday (January 13) and is leaving no stone unturned for the first match.
While Team India is currently conducting practice sessions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, a die-hard Virat Kohli fan and his friends visited the venue to meet the Indian National Cricket Team batsman. The cricket lovers asked the main batsman for a photo, to which the batsman asked them for a few minutes.
However, after waiting for 15 minutes, Virat Kohli called the fans. One of them asked them about their batting tips. But the Indian batsman realized that the fans had waited for him under the scorching sun. He told them to go to the Indian dressing room as the sun was shining brightly.
Upon reaching the dressing room, Kohli asked the fans to take the photo first. The fans spent 7 minutes with the premier Indian batsman talking about batting tips and other things. The cricket fan shared the entire story on his social media. He wrote:
“Virat’s friend and I: – Bhai Ek pic milega (Can I take a photo)? Virat: Yes, yes, I will be back.
“We waited for 15-20 minutes. He came back and called us bhai aaja yaar (come here). wood). We went to the ground and my friend started asking me about batting tips.
“He literally told me, ‘Go to the locker room, Idhar dhoop (sun) hai.’ We went to the locker room, saw the entire Indian team and he simply said, bhai pic lelete hai pehle (I will take a photo first) And then I had a great 7 minute conversation with @virat.kohli.”

Virat Kohli will play his first Test match for the Indian national cricket team after the South Africa series. The batsman missed the five-match Test series against the England national cricket team at home. He missed the series due to personal reasons – his wife gave birth to their second child.
For the past few months, Kohli has been struggling to make an impact in red-ball cricket. But the upcoming Test series against the Bangladesh national cricket team will be a great opportunity for him to get back into form in the longest format of the game.
Kohli is also on the cusp of reaching a huge milestone in international cricket. He is just 58 runs away from reaching 27,000 runs across all formats. If he achieves the feat in the next 8 innings, he will be the fastest to reach the milestone and the first cricketer in the 147-year history of international cricket to reach 27,000 runs in less than 600 innings.
Kohli has scored 26,942 runs across all formats of international cricket in 591 innings in his career so far. He will be hoping to make a big impact in the Test series against Bangladesh and help his team win.
