Team India stalwart Virat Kohli recently made the day of a little kid by giving his autograph on a bat. Kohli was last seen on the field during the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. India lost the match by eight wickets and are 0-1 in the three-match Test series. The second Test will commence on Thursday (October 24) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
An X (formerly known as Twitter) user shared a video on the social media platform on Wednesday to give a glimpse of Virat Kohli's warm gesture for a couple of kids. In it, the iconic cricketer could be seen signing on the bats for his two little fans with a smile.

"It was extremely necessary" - Parthiv Patel on Virat Kohli spending quality batting time in the second innings of 1st Test vs New Zealand
Former cricketer Parthiv Patel recently opined that Virat Kohli spending quality time at the crease during the second innings of the Bengaluru Test was important for him to get back into the groove ahead of the busy season.
During a discussion on Colors Cineplex on the matter, Parthiv Patel said:
"It was extremely necessary for Virat Kohli to spend time in the middle. You said it correctly, he had not played Test cricket for a long time. He didn't play in the England series and didn't get that much opportunity against Bangladesh. There is no doubt that he is a very big player. However, no matter how big a player you might be, you need to play matches to get your rhythm."
He added:
"So while he was looking slightly scratchy in the Bangladesh series, he was looking confident here. However, he still took his time for the first 15 or 20 balls. It seemed like he was taking his time when he was playing Ajaz Patel. However, once he got set, and he is such a big player that once he hits one or two shots, like the cover drive he played, the confidence comes"
