In a tournament that has the cricketing powerhouses of Asia, the story that's capturing hearts isn't just the nail-biting matches but a heartwarming tribute to Indian batter, Virat Kohli.

Kohli's responded with grace to Sri Lankan fan's handmade portrait

On the sidelines of Asia Cup 2023, an ardent Sri Lankan fan expressed her admiration for Kohli in the most artistic manner. She handed him a beautiful handmade portrait, capturing an emotional moment in his recent career.

The artwork depicted Kohli's emotive celebration, a mix of both relief and ecstasy, following a stellar century against Afghanistan. This wasn't just any century; it marked an end to a nearly three-year drought, stamping it as his 71st international ton and his maiden in the T20I format.

The gesture was appreciated by the Indian maestro, who, in his signature gracious manner, took a moment to express his gratitude to the girl, even sharing a picture-perfect moment with her.



Kohli's form in Asia Cup 2023 has been nothing short of magnificent. Following a magnificent unbeaten 122 against arch-rivals Pakistan, he did face a minor setback against the Sri Lankans, scoring just 3 runs.

The young Sri Lankan sensation, Dunith Wellalage, with his exceptional bowling, managed to draw an error from the former Indian skipper, getting him caught at short mid-wicket. Nevertheless, it was India's day as they won by 41 runs, ensuring a spot in the final Asia Cup 2023.

While the Indian team is already looking formidable for the finals, Kohli will be aiming to return to his scoring ways in the upcoming clash against Bangladesh. With the final showdown looming, the opponent for India - either Pakistan or Sri Lanka - will be decided based on the outcome of the crucial encounter between the two on Thursday.
