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”

Rajvardhan Hangargekar wrote on his Instagram, “Virat Kohli Bhaiya it was great to have a conversation with you. Learned some important things from you about life and cricket which will help us to get better in the days to come.”
Team India recently had a fantastic run in the Under-19 World Cup so far as they have gone on to win all the 5 games they have played in the tournament. They won the semifinal of the ongoing Under-19 World Cup against Australia by a heft margin as skipper Yash Dhull led the charge from the front smashing a stunning century in the semi-final fixture.
India will take on England in the final of the ongoing 2022 U19 World Cup at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on Saturday.
