A dream-come-true moment for a young girl in Barbados
A young girl in Barbados had a dream-come-true moment on Saturday when Virat Kohli came all the way to her in the stands and not just accepted the bracelet she had made for him but also wore it.
Kohli’s gesture to his young fan
The girl, who had come with her family to see India play in the second ODI, couldn’t get the chance to see Kohli bat as the former India captain was rested for the game. But Kohli more than made it up for his young fan by accepting the gift, giving an autograph and posing for pictures.

India loses but the sweet gesture wins hearts
India lost the match by six wickets, as the West Indies levelled the three-match ODI series at 1-1. Virat’s sweet gesture was lauded by fans. The overall sentiment in Indian parlance can be summed up as – ‘bohot hi badiya’.

Kohli, who didn’t bat in the first ODI, and Rohit were rested to test the youngsters ahead of the Asia Cup and World Cup later this year. The final match of the series will be played on Tuesday. ‘Fans ki kadr karo, fans hi sab hain’ – that’s one sentiment that every professional athlete will echo and Virat showed just how important it is to sometimes go out of your way to treat the fans well.
