Virat Kohli gives a fan the biggest moment of his life 

Virat Kohli has become an icon in the history of cricket and is a well-known star around the globe.  He has a tremendous fan base, particularly in India, where his supporters idolize him and eagerly await his appearance. He recently appeared in Mumbai, while Kohli, at a recent event, asked the fan to come and click a picture with him. This was a sheer example of how much the people of India adore him.

During his short break from cricket, Virat Kohli is spending quality time with his family at his house. His latest participation in the Test and ODI series against the West Indies showed how good he is. Over the course of two Test matches, Kohli did a great job. He scored 197 runs at an excellent average of 98.50, with a century and a half-century standing out. During the three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), Kohli played a more subdued role because the team management wanted to give younger, less experienced players a chance to play. After the ODI series, Kohli went back home because he wasn't picked for the five-match T20I series that followed. However, the team failed to prevail in the series and lost 3-2.

At the time senior squad players are resting, the Indian team will play a 3 T20I match series against Ireland. The series starts on August 18, 2023, and will end on August 23, 2023. After that, the team will appear in the Asia Cup where most probably the squad chosen for the ODI World Cup will appear.
