Virat Kohli meeting the fans in Guwahati | ScreengrabVirat Kohli enjoys a massive fan following across the globe but in India, his homeland, the veteran batter’s popularity is on a different level.

The glimpse of Kohli’s fan following was once again witnessed on the eve of the second T20I against South Africa in Guwahati.

Virat was seen clicking pictures with the fans after the net session at Barsapara Stadium. The former skipper graciously met them and the video of the same went viral on social media.

Here’s the video:

Before the Asia Cup 2022, questions were raised over Virat Kohli’s place in the Indian T20I team as he was enduring an extended lean patch. However, the great batter silenced his critics by finishing the six-team tournament as the second highest run-getter with 276 runs to his name from five innings.

During the marquee event, Kohli also ended his much-talked-about century drought as he slammed 122* off 61 balls in India’s last Super-4 clash against Afghanistan.

After regaining his form in the Asia Cup, Virat continued his brilliance in the recently held T20I series against Australia. He slammed 63 off 48 balls in the third and final T20I, helping India clinch the series 2-1.

In the first T20I, Kohli got out for just 3 but he is expected to do well in the remaining two games and the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
