In a video shared by RCB on their official YouTube channel, Shreyanka Patil said: “He took the phone and clicked a picture with me. I still want to say that he touched me here (on her arm). I went to the school and I was like, 'Virat Kohli touched me'.”

She added, “It was so nice to meet him, to take a picture with him. Though I didn't get to meet him and talk to him in person, taking a picture with him itself is a big thing. I'm going to frame this picture, keep it in the house, protect it, and then when I meet him, I'm going to get his autograph done on that frame.”

Patil also revealed that she used to visit Chinnaswamy stadium to watch Kohli bat during practice sessions of the RCB men’s team.

She stated: “Whenever RCB used to practice in Chinnaswamy, I was like, 'Okay fine, let me at least watch him bat, if not meet him'.”

The all-rounder signed off by saying, “So, I love watching him, whatever off the field, on the field anything, I just love watching him. His body language, his intent, his vibe is amazing.”

Notably, Shreyanka has so far played 2 matches in the WPL 2023, where she has scored 34 runs at a strike rate of 178.94 and bagged two wickets.
