Virat Kohli hugged by a fan as Team India leaves Cuttack for Ahmedabad - Watch

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli may be going through a lean phase with the bat, but the India batting superstar's charm and charisma is still intact.

Virat missed the first ODI against England in Nagpur due to an injury but he was back for the second ODI in Cuttack.

However, Virat could score only 5 runs before he was caught behind by Phil Salt off Adil Rashid, much to the disappointment of the crowd at the Barabati Stadium, even though India went on to win the match by 4 wickets thanks to captain Rohit Sharma's stunning hundred.

The third and final ODI of the series is scheduled to be played in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

Now a video is doing the rounds on social media where Virat is hugged by a fan at the Bhubaneswar airport sending the security officials into a tizzy.

The video shows Virat walking in with his trolley bag as the security officials are having a hard time controlling the crowd.

Virat suddenly turns to his left and walks over to a female fan and gives her a quick hug before moving on to the departure area of the airport.


Virat's crazy fan following is evident in packed stadiums, viral social media trends, and even opposition fans cheering for him. Whether it's "Kohli! Kohli!" chants in India or foreign fans celebrating his milestones, he remains one of cricket's biggest icons.

Later the Indian cricket board (BCCI) shared pictures of the Indian cricketers reaching Ahmedabad.
