There are special fans of Virat Kohli in every nook and corner in the country. Guwahati, too had one such die-hard fan who gifted the Indian captain a unique portrait which he made using old and discarded mobile phones.
The fan, named Rahul, revealed that he took three days and three nights to make the portrait. Kohli saw the portrait and autographed it after meeting the fan at the team hotel, much to the delight of the young fan.
A video of Kohli’s meeting the fan was uploaded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their social media platforms. “Portrait of @virat.kohli using old phones. How is this for fan love!” the BCCI captioned the video.

Meanwhile, the first of the three-match T20I series between India and Sri Lanka was abandoned due to heavy rain in Guwahati. This result will be a massive disappointment for the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) and, of course, the vast crowd that appeared for the game.
On Sunday night, the groundsmen used a vacuum cleaner, a steam iron, and a hair-dryer in their effort to dry up the damp patches on the track.
The abandonment happened in front of dignitaries, including Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, and Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb.
