[Saba Sports News] Virat Kohli, a globally celebrated cricketer especially popular among young fans, created a special moment for a young admirer during the Boxing Day Test between India and South Africa at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
In an encounter arranged by veteran commentator Mark Nicholas, Kohli signed a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) jersey for the young fan. Despite being in the midst of practice, the former India captain took the time to brighten the young fan’s day, giving him a memorable experience and a keepsake to treasure. Kohli also posed for photos with his young fan, later joined by Nicholas. This heartwarming interaction was well-received on social media.
In the match, Kohli scored 38 runs in India’s first innings before being dismissed by Kagiso Rabada. On Day 2, India was all out for 245. South Africa’s batting was highlighted by Dean Elgar’s unbeaten 140 off 211 balls, and David Bedingham’s solid 56-run contribution, leading the hosts to a strong position.
Jasprit Bumrah led India’s bowling efforts, taking two wickets for 48 runs in 16 overs. The Indian team aims to quickly dismiss the remaining South African batters on Day 3 to minimize the first-innings lead.
