Indian players are presently in the USA for the T20 World Cup 2024. Notably, Virat Kohli opted not to accompany the team to New York, taking a short break following the intense schedule of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Consequently, he will miss India’s first warm-up match against Bangladesh on June 1.

Recently, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter was seen departing for the US at Mumbai airport. He was surrounded by fans and photographers who requested selfies, and Kohli graciously obliged. During this interaction, Kohli shared a warm moment with the paparazzies. The video of this interaction is going viral on social media.

Virat Kohli credits Anushka Sharma for sending the gift  

Kohli and Anushka Sharma recently sent gift hampers to the paparazzi, expressing gratitude for respecting their privacy during the arrival of their second child, Akaay. When one of the photographers thanked the former Indian skipper for this gesture, Kohli humbly stated that Anushka was the one who sent the gift. Rather than addressing her by name, Kohli respectfully referred to her as “Ma’am.”

“Ma’am (Anushka) ne diya hai maine nahi diya hai bhai, maine nahi diya (Ma’am has sent this brother, not me),” Kohli said.
