Virat Kohli’s exploits as a batsman in the last few years have won him plenty of fans all around the world. And now it seems another name has been added to his already enriched admirers list. This one is special because it’s none other than the Bollywood diva Alia Bhatt.

Speaking to First Post, Alia expressed her liking for the star batsman. She also congratulated the Indian captain for all his record-breaking feats.

“Nothing to say. Congratulations for all the great work that you’ve been doing for our Team India and the country,” she quoted.

Alia also commented on the adorable pictures of Virat with wife Anushka Sharma, saying: “Your beautiful pictures with Anushka are totally going viral and we’re all hearting them.”

Kohli was rested for the last two ODIs and the subsequent T20I series during the recently held New Zealand tour. The decision was taken keeping in mind the excessive workload on the Indian captain.

Virat had featured in each and every match of the Australia tour. While the 30-year-old played 6 limited-overs matches (3 ODIs and 3 T20Is) Down Under, he led the team to a historic Test series-triumph by clinching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1.

Kohli will return to action during the upcoming limited-overs series against Australia, slated to start on February
