IND vs BAN: India’s star batter Virat Kohli commands an enormous fan base and consistently mesmerizes them with his outstanding performances on the field. His admirers are always eager to catch even a fleeting glimpse of their favorite cricketer and dream of conversing with him. Recently, an Indian fan had the rare opportunity to fulfill this dream. Both the fan and his friend had a one-on-one interaction with Kohli, an event that quickly went viral on social media after being shared on Instagram.
In his Instagram story, the fan recounted the experience, highlighting Kohli’s humility and genuine desire to make his fans happy. According to the fan, Kohli initially agreed to take a picture with them but asked them to wait for 15-20 minutes. True to his word, Kohli returned despite the sweltering heat and invited them inside the dressing room. There, they not only met Kohli but also had the chance to meet the entire team. Kohli didn’t just pose for pictures; he spent seven minutes talking with them and offered valuable batting advice. The fan shared a photo of himself with Kohli, who was clad in his training jersey at the M.A. Chidambaram stadium.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir was also present during these practice sessions, alongside assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and newly appointed bowling coach Morne Morkel. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was seen intensely training as well.
The Rohit Sharma-led team arrived in Chennai on Friday for an intensive seven-day training camp. This marked their first such session before an upcoming hectic season. Key players like Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja rejoined the national squad after a one-month hiatus. Their last appearance was in the white-ball series against Sri Lanka last month. Now, they are gearing up for an impending two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
These sessions are crucial as they prepare for the demanding fixtures ahead. The presence of top-tier coaches and star players underscores the team’s commitment to excellence and readiness for the challenges that lie ahead.
