India’s most adored cricketing personalities, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have always had a special bond with their fans. That was evident recently as the Indian team touched down in Sri Lanka for an upcoming ODI series.
After intense practice sessions at Colombo, both players paused to interact with their fans which became a heartwarming gesture that left everyone happy.
As Kohli exited the nets, he was met by this group of super enthusiastic fans who had been waiting for him since dawn. Among them was one young fan clutching a picture of Kohli and Sharma taken during the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The youngster wanted both signatures on it. While acknowledging his love affair with supporters, Kohli saw the kid and walked straight to him to sign the photo and say some nice things.
But that wasn’t all there was to it. Rohit Sharma joined in when he realized what was happening. He added his signature beside Kohli’s on top of the treasured photo.
This expression alone brought happiness into the face of this little boy. This small act showed how much they love their fans.
This exchange has gone viral on social media platforms as enthusiasts commend Kohli and Sharma for their modesty and benevolence towards others. The pair’s activities underline their devotion to followers around India and across international borders too.
With regards to ODI series against Sri Lanka starting from August 2nd, 2024 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, these two men will be crucial to watch out for (and my bet is that). Both Kohli & Rohit are looking forward to making comeback into International Cricket for Team India post-T20 WC triumphs.
