Virat Kohli, the former captain and star batsman for India, is renowned for his compassionate actions both on and off the pitch. His most recent act of kindness towards young children is gaining hearts. Notably, the second ODI of the series between the Men in Blue and England will take place at Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium.
When some little children asked to shake hands with the famous cricket player during the game, it was a heartwarming moment. Kohli was positioned close to the boundary ropes at the time. He made the little children’s day by joyfully shaking hands with them and duly acknowledging their aim.
The young supporters appeared to be overjoyed by Kohli’s thoughtful gesture and were in awe of the star batsman. Indian cricket fans have lavished their appreciation on the cute moment that was caught on camera, which swiftly went viral on social media.

England gave India a 305-run goal, and Virat Kohli was in the starting lineup.
In the meantime, skipper Jos Buttler chose to bat first after winning the toss earlier in the day in the second ODI between England and India. Since the opening batsmen gave the visitors a strong start, his choice was amply supported. The first wicket, Phil Salt, was taken in the eleventh over, but Ben Duckett, who looked menacing, came soon after, but not before he hit a spectacular 65-run innings.
However, by taking wickets frequently, Team India managed to regain ground in the middle stages of the match. England was consequently bowled out for 304. India made two changes to their playing XI in their opinion. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener, gave way to Virat Kohli. Due to a knee ailment, Kohli was unable to participate in the first ODI in Nagpur.
