As intense and driven as India’s ace batter Virat Kohli is on the field, he’s equally kind-hearted and down-to-earth off it. Time and again, Kohli has shown grace and warmth outside the cricketing world, whether it’s building genuine camaraderie with opposition players, being there for his family at every step, or connecting earnestly with his fans.
His humility and generosity have left a lasting impact on many, and he recently melted hearts again with a touching gesture. The former India captain was recently spotted by media outside his residence, where a brief yet memorable moment unfolded. As he stepped out of his car and headed towards the building, he was approached by an elderly fan, an enthusiastic woman eager to meet him.

After a quick conversation, the lady requested a photo with him. Although Kohli appeared to be in a bit of a hurry, he patiently stayed as the woman struggled with her phone, unsure of how to take the selfie she wanted. Eventually, she handed the phone to a bystander, who captured the moment of her and Kohli together.

This series presents another opportunity for Kohli to regain his peak form in Test cricket, an area where he has recently had ups and downs. Aside from a solid 70 in India’s second innings against New Zealand in the first Test, Kohli’s run tally in recent matches hasn’t reflected his usual standard. Fans, however, are hopeful that Australia will bring out the best in him, as he prepares to take on the challenge with his characteristic grit and ambition.
