Indian batting star Virat Kohli doesn't cease to acknowledge his enormous number of fans, who follow him in large numbers wherever he goes. It's not any different currently in South Africa as the 35-year-old gave a fan his autograph on the Team India jersey and clicked pictures with them. The video of the same went viral on social media.
The Men in Blue are currently in South Africa for the final leg of the tour - the high profile Test series against the Proteas. However, it has not turned out the way the tourists would have liked, losing the opening Test at Centurion by an innings and 132 runs.
Nevertheless, Kohli made his mark in the match, hitting a pristine 38 in the 1st innings, followed by a brisk 76 off 82 deliveries. In the process, he also passed a staggering 8700 runs.
Virat Kohli didn't participate in the optional training session on Saturday ahead of the 2nd Test:
Meanwhile, the Delhi-born cricketer wasn't present during the optional training session on Saturday. The Indian cricketers who were part of it were Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and KS Bharat.
The major talking point from the training session was Shardul Thakur copping a blow on the shoulder, but he escaped a serious injury. With Prasidh Krishna delivering a disappointing performance in the 1st Test, Mukesh Kumar or Avesh Khan is likely to replace him for the New Year's Test, starting on 3rd January in Cape Town.
