Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are two of the most celebrated cricketers from India, with flocks of passionate supporters spread all over the world. Meeting fans often form eventful moments, and in advance of the second Test, at all costs for India against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma had an encounter that soon made the rounds on social media.
After the coaching session in the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here, Rohit was walking towards the dressing room when he was suddenly warmed up by a roomful of excited fans. Among all those excited fans, one caught his attention who asked for the autograph and asked for a special favour from him.

She asked Rohit to tell a message to Virat Kohli, “Tell him his biggest fan came here.” Winking with a smile, Rohit promised to pass on the heartful message to the former Indian captain that touched fans’ hearts. This time is sweet for India at the time when the team is to play a much-needed match. They then went on to lose a disappointing eight-wicket encounter in the first Test here against New Zealand after being bowled out for a miserable 46.

India struggled for the better parts of this match as Rachin Ravindra’s dream hundred helped the visitors post a commanding 402; for India, batting was sound, and led by Sarfaraz Khan’s impressive 150, after putting up 468. But New Zealand didn’t seem concerned about the task as they chased the 107 target with ease, sending the three-match series into an embarrassing 0-1 deficit for India.

Going into the second Test on Thursday, October 24, India would be eyeing a level of points, but New Zealand wants history in becoming the first team to defeat India at home since England did so back in 2012. The stakes seem high enough for this tussle between two of the world’s elite teams.
