Virat Kohli has received a lot of love from Indian fans owing to his stunning skills and magnificent innings, and we call it sportsmanship when players of opposing teams praise Virat Kohli. But, it seems rare when the cricketing skills of someone touch the family of the opposing team. Well, that just happened to Virat Kohli when the West Indies star hugged Virat Kohli and broke down in front of the player.
In a video that is breaking the internet, the mother of West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva can be seen hugging Virat Kohli and breaking down in her excitement to meet the player. In another viral stump mic conversation, Joshua revealed that his mother is a big-time fan of Virat Kohli.
