Cricket is no less than a religion in India as quite a few players, even some foreign ones, have a massive fan following, and cricketers like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are the perfect examples. Both the cricketers are plying their trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The duo spared time to deliver a wonderful message for a kid from Delhi, Priyanshu, who had a serious heart disorder.
Priyanshu is currently in Boston and recently went under the knife for his disorder. It took almost three years to collect the money for his family with Blood Donors India coming forward to make some contributions. After being operated on, the boy is now safe as well and will soon be coming back to India.

RCB are currently gearing up for the game against Punjab Kings to be played on Friday and on Thursday, two of their top cricketers, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers shared a heart-warming message for Priyanshu who has been fighting with the disorder for years.
In the video, Virat Kohli was heard saying, “Hi Priyanshu, Hope you are doing well now. I heard about your operation. I just want to say you’ve been strong through it and very brave. You’ve gotten over the first hurdle and you will recover soon and you will be back in India in no time.”

And I want to congratulate you for being so strong and for being so motivated through this whole process. I hope everything goes well and you be strong enough to make it to your homeland.”
