India cricket superstar Virat Kohli once again showed why he is loved both on and off the field. On January 1, ahead of the final Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25, Kohli took a moment to interact with his young fans in Sydney. The match is set to begin on January 3 at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

A video circulating on social media captured the heartfelt moment. Kohli, dressed in the Indian jersey, paused to sign autographs for a group of excited children as he made his way to the team bus. While captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir accompanied him, it was Kohli's act of kindness that stole the spotlight. 


Virat Kohli Struggles To Find Form In BGT

The BGT series has been challenging for Kohli. He started the tournament with a spectacular century in the second innings of the first Test, scoring an unbeaten 100 off 143 balls. However, his subsequent performances have been far from his usual standards. 

Across the remaining Tests, he managed scores of 5, 7, 11, 3, 36, and 5 runs in respective innings. These numbers are a far cry from the consistency and dominance he is known for. Sydney has historically been a strong venue for Kohli. In three Test matches at the SCG, he has accumulated 248 runs, including a memorable century in 2015 when he scored 147. 

With the fifth and final Test looming, both fans and critics hope he can recreate his past brilliance at this iconic ground and help India level the series and also keep their faint hopes of qualifying for the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final alive.
