Virat Kohli received a guard of honor on Saturday from his teammates

On the second day of India’s first Test against Sri Lanka, the former captain Virat Kohli was given a guard of honor as he walked out to the field. Kohli’s teammates lined up at the boundary rope to praise their colleague. Rohit Sharma led them.

The legendary batter greeted the crowd at the field and thanked his teammates, expanding his hand toward the crowd. Rohit made a beautiful gesture by shaking Kohli’s hand before entering his fielding position.

Virat Kohli acknowledged his teammates’ gratitude and extended his hands to the crowd who had risen to their feet to greet the legendary batter into the field. When Kohli approached Rohit to shake his hand before the players entered their fielding positions, the Indian team made a beautiful gesture.

In the first innings, the former captain, who stood down as captain earlier this month, was out for 45 as India amassed 574/8 declared, shredding Sri Lanka’s bowling attack at Mohali.

Kohli looked smooth in the middle for a little while before being undone by a stunning left-arm spin delivery from Lassith Embuldeniya. As the ball spun swiftly from the middle and leg and settled on the top of the off stump, Kohli couldn’t believe his luck.

Before the start of the first Test match, Kohli’s performance was lauded by team management. Kohli was given a unique India hat by Rahul Dravid, who urged him to “double it up”.
