Watch: Friends gave a heroic welcome to man who hugged Virat Kohli during the 2nd T20I match against Afghanistan
Fan hugged and touched Virat Kohli’s feet during an ongoing match.
Meeting Virat Kohli is a dream of millions. However, meeting Virat Kohli during an ongoing match is a dream of billions. A fan lived the dream of billions by breaching security and entering the Holkar Stadium, Indore. He directly went to his idol and touched his feet. By the time he hugged him, the Indore police came and detained him. The incident took place during the India vs. Afghanistan match. Moreover, Kohli requested the police to be kind to him. Indore police did leave him after some time.
The fan’s friends considered this an achievement and welcomed him with garlands. A video surfaced on social media where they celebrated his welcome. The craze of Kohli has reached every city and town. This is not the first time this has happened during an ongoing match. There are a lot of players who have dared to breach the stadium security just to meet their favourite cricketers without thinking about the further consequences.
Players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have had this experience as of now. Kohli returned to the T20I after 14 long months. However, he didn’t look out of touch at all. He played a short and sweet innings of 29 runs off 15 balls including five boundaries. Fans enjoyed Kohli’s innings and hope to see more of it in the T20 World Cup.
India and Afghanistan to play the last T20I in Bengaluru
India is set to take on Afghanistan in the 3rd and last T20I match today, January 17. India has already won the series, 2-0. However, if they win today’s match, it will be a clean sweep for the Afghanistan team. The visiting nation will be looking forward to winning the match to avoid a clean sweep.
This match is also important for Rohit Sharma as he hasn’t had a good series so far. He will be focusing on scoring some runs and putting pressure on Afghanistan from the start of the innings. If Sharma starts firing from one end, Yashasvi Jaiswal will get a lot of confidence to carry forward his innings. Before the World Cup starts, if India manages to figure out their batting line-up, fans will be hopeful of winning the T20 World Cup.
