On the eve of the second Test between India and Bangladesh, young Bangladesh cricketers had the opportunity to meet and greet Virat Kohli at Team India's training session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. As they stood for a photo with the former India captain, the young cricketers appeared stunned.
Virat Kohli is known for taking time out of his schedule to pose for photographs and sign autographs for fans, and the batting great did not disappoint to brighten the days of the young cricketers in Mirpur.
The Indian cricket board (BCCI) took to social media to share photos of the meeting, captioning them "Inspiring generation next."

Virat Kohli has struggled with consistency in Tests. The former skipper was bowled out for 1 in the first innings of the Chattogram Test by left-arm spinner Taijul Islam. Kohli has struggled against spinners in recent years, and the batting legend will be eager to make a mark in the second Test, which begins on December 22.
India will try to clinch a clean sweep of the Test series and cement their place in the World Test Championship final. India is currently ranked second in the World Tennis Championship, trailing only Australia.
