The Star Indian batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma received much applause after signing a fan jersey outside the team hotel in Australia on Thursday, October 16. The white-ball eight match series of Australia versus India starts on Sunday the 19th of October.
Virat Kohli signed a Royal Challengers Bengaluru shirt and a Team India shirt and Rohit who was already on the bus got out to fulfill the request of the fan. Rohit got the autograph of the fan signed by Kohli once his role was over and he got onto the bus.
The fan, Sahil, was interviewed after receiving autographs from two Indian cricket icons. He expressed gratitude for Kohli and Rohit’s gift.
“It was lovely meeting Kohli. I have met him before as well. He is very humble. I had just asked him once. Same for Rohit, who was already sitting on the bus. I just signaled him, requesting for an autograph. I mean that’s a lot,” stated Sahil, who hails from Karachi (Pakistan), as per RevSportz Global.
