NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli enjoys an immense global fan following, making him one of the most popular cricketers of all time. Kohli has garnered admiration from fans across various countries, transcending cricket's traditional boundaries.
A recent display of Kohli's widespread popularity was seen in Pakistan during the Champions One-Day Cup 2024 match between Stallions and Markhors, where a fan waved his jersey in the stands. This incident serves as a testament to Kohli's immense popularity in Pakistan.
This gesture drew significant attention, especially since the match featured Babar Azam, who was playing for Stallions.
The former India captain Kohli engaged in an intense practice session at the nets as India began their preparations for a two-Test series against Bangladesh.
During India's second day of training, Kohli showcased his batting prowess in a video shared by Jio Cinema on its website. The footage captured a remarkable moment when Kohli hit a mighty six that shattered a wall near the Indian dressing room at the Chepauk stadium.
Kohli will return to the Test format for the first time since India's tour of South Africa in January this year. He missed India's home Test series against England due to the birth of his son, Akaay.
Since then, Kohli has endured an underwhelming T20 World Cup and a tour of Sri Lanka. He will be keen to regain his form.
