It was 14 years ago when a 19-year-old Virat Kohli led the under-19 Indian cricket team to the pinnacle of world cricket as India lifted the Under-19 World Cup. Today, Virat Kohli is one of the biggest superstars of the cricket world and a successful captain, having scored over 20000 international runs.
Therefore, it was only fitting for Virat Kohli to motivate the young Indian players of India’s under-19 team, which is currently in the West Indies seeking World Cup glory.
Well, just two days ahead of the upcoming Under-19 World Cup final between India and England, the young Indian players received a pleasant surprise.
The likes of Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Kaushal Tambe, skipper Dhull, and many more got the chance to interact with their idol Kohli. Though it is not yet known who took the decision to arrange this however it was a complete masterstroke.
Later, after the interaction, the skipper of Team India’s Under-19 team posted an amazing Tweet for Virat Kohli. He wrote:
“An inspiration for millions ?
Thank you captain for some valuable tips before finals @imVkohli”
