Indian veteran Virat Kohli received a heartwarming and touching reception upon his arrival in Raipur ahead of the second ODI against South Africa. As the Indian team reached their hotel on Monday evening, a group of young children waited eagerly at the entrance, holding roses in their hands in hopes of meeting their cricketing idol.
The moment Kohli stepped off the team bus, the children rushed forward with excitement, offering him the flowers. Kohli responded with a warm smile, graciously accepting each rose while thanking the young fans for their gesture. The kids, overjoyed to be in the presence of their hero, could barely contain their excitement. Videos capturing this wholesome interaction quickly went viral on social media, drawing admiration from fans across the country.
Kohli is already the focal point of the ongoing ODI series, thanks to his scintillating performance in the opening match in Ranchi. On Sunday, the star batter hammered a majestic 135 off just 120 balls, striking 11 fours and seven sixes. His powerful century propelled India to a commanding total of 349 runs and played a decisive role in giving the team a 1-0 lead in the series.
