What’s special about the cricketer is that he has a fandom that ranges across age groups. From kids to veterans, everyone loves him dearly and how he plays for the country. Yesterday, Maniesh Paul shared a picture of his son Yuvann with Virat Kohli, recalling the time they all met for the first time during a shoot. He wrote, “This was a very special day for Yuvann,my son….he loves Virat…when he got to know that I was shooting with him, he left his football class and came running to meet him…I could see the sparkle in this eyes the moment he saw Virat…thanks @virat.kohli my brother, for the warmth …Yuvann will remember this first meeting with his cricketing hero, forever…he is glued to the matches when you are playing even more now.

Virat delivered one of the most special knocks of his career in his latest match against Pakistan and even wife Anushka Sharma was left quite emotional after that. She had also wrote a heartfelt note for him saying, “You beauty!! You freaking beauty!! You have brought sooooo much joy in peoples lives tonight and that too on the eve of Diwali! You are a wonderful wonderful man my love. Your grit, determination and belief is mind boggling !! I have just watched the best match of my life I can say and although our daughter is too small to understand why her mother was dancing around and screaming wildly in the room, one day she will understand that her dad played his best innings that night which followed after a phase that was tough on him but he came out of it stronger and wiser than ever before! So proud of you !! Your strength is contagious ⭐️and you my love, are LIMITLESS!! Love you forever and through thick and thin (sic)”.
