Virat Kohli’s heartwarming gesture towards his childhood coach
Virat Kohli had a touching encounter with Rajkumar Sharma before the Delhi Capitals versus Royal Challengers Bangalore game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Sharma made the journey to the capital’s Arun Jaitley Stadium to watch the game.
IPL’s official Twitter account posted a video of their encounter, and it rapidly gained popularity. In the footage, Kohli appears to be seen greeting Sharma and giving him a heartfelt hug before caressing his feet. The two appear to be incredibly close, and the video clearly shows how much they care for one another.
Their reunion before the IPL game was significant since it happened in the same place in which Kohli was born and raised and where he first started playing cricket. Kohli has frequently talked about his deep emotional attachment to the Arun Jaitley Stadium and how it retains a special place in his heart.
As Kohli and his RCB opening companion Faf du Plessis stepped out to bat, Sharma rung the bell to signal the beginning of the game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Virat Kohli was coached by Rajkumar Sharma when he was a youngster, and Kohli frequently gives Sharma credit for his achievements.

I like Virat, but I don't like how he still has an archaic Indian mindset. Touching a teacher's feet is such an absurd idea, imo. Teachers bill their students for the services they provide. Why are Indians unable to behave professionally and give up such regressive customs

Great culture we have tbh! Loved it. Even Jonty tried to touch SRT's feet few days back after the match. Love this.
