Anushka revealed that those who know her and Kohli know that they love such “simple and pure human connection”. Here is the series of tweets by Anushka:
So we went into the home of this beautiful and warm family who had absolutely no idea who we were and yet they treated us with such warmth and love. We spent some time with them chatting and drinking tea and the whole time they just know us as two tired trekkers !

Whoever knows Virat and me very closely, know that both of us live for such moments of genuine, simple & pure human connection. It fills us with such joy & peace knowing that they just wanted to be kind to two random foreigners (plus our guide) without seeking anything in return.

India lost the opening encounter, as they suffered first ever defeat against the Bangladesh team in the shortest format.
