Dubai: Virat Kohli once again showed his humble side after stopping to pose for photographs with fans in Tauranga, New Zealand, following an emotional request from a supporter.
The Indian batting great was recently spotted walking through the New Zealand city during India’s ongoing tour when a fan, identified as Josita Anola Rodrigues on Instagram, called out to him for a photograph.
Clearly excited to see the former India captain, she repeatedly pleaded with him, saying: “You are the one that I have been waiting for. Virat sir one photo please. Virat sir please.”
Kohli heard her request and turned around before responding: “You guys come together.”
Rather than posing for an individual photograph and walking away, the 37-year-old invited the other supporters around him to join in. He then patiently posed with the group, giving several fans an opportunity to capture a memorable moment with their favourite cricketer.
The interaction offered another glimpse into Kohli’s willingness to acknowledge supporters, even when he is away from the cricket field. His simple gesture was particularly appreciated by the fans, who were clearly delighted by the unexpected opportunity.
Rodrigues shared the video on Instagram, where it has attracted more than one million views, with cricket fans reacting to Kohli’s response and his gesture towards the supporters.
