- Virat Kohli has been an inspirational leader and enjoys the love and support of his teammates and fans alike.
Kohli has often been spotted clicking selfies and chatting with children and his fans. He has earned plethora of fans by his work ethics be it on or off the field.
He loves interacting with his fans and it was witnessed once again when he brought a smile to a little girl's face at Delhi's IGI Airport before leaving for England.
In a picture posted by the BCCI on Twitter, Kohli can be seen standing besides the girl, who has a plaster on her right hand.
The Indian cricket team on Friday departed for their marathon tour of Ireland and England starting next week.
The Indian cricket team on Friday departed for their marathon tour of Ireland and England starting next week.
India
start their tour with a two-match Twenty20 International series against
Ireland on June 27 and June 29 before they play a limited-overs series
and Tests against England.
The two cricketing giants play a five-match Test series from August 1
and India will be keen to come back home with the trophy after their
disastrous last two campaigns in England.
However, Kohli said the South African tour has given his team the confidence to do well abroad.
"After what happened in South Africa, we are actually looking forward to some tough cricket," Kohli told the media in New Delhi on Friday.
"When we were playing the Test series in South Africa and lost the first two matches, people thought we were outplayed. Then we won the third Test and won the two series after that. Then they realised how well we played. We are looking forward to going to other countries and playing well. We are looking forward to playing difficult cricket," Kohli said.
On the tour of South Africa, Kohli hammered 871 runs across formats and was the leading run-scorer in the Test and ODI series.
He was scheduled to play for Surrey to get used to English conditions before the Test series gets underway in August but the 29-year-old had to pull out after he sustained a neck injury during the IPL.
It would be fair to say Kohli is not overtly worried about his chances against the swinging red leather this English summer.
Meanwhile, India coach Ravi Shastri said every series is a home series for India. His logic can sometimes be tricky to understand for the casual follower but he offered an explanation.
"Every series is important. Every game is a home game for us. We do not play the opposition - we play the pitch. The 22-yards.. that is what we have to try and conquer. The boys know they will be rated if they can adapt to different conditions.
"We are looking forward to playing in other countries.. I am not sure too many teams want to come to India," he said.
