Virat Kohli is a global phenomenon and the biggest influence in cricket among active cricketers. Fans queue up for hours to get a glimpse of their idol, as seen during Delhi's Ranji Trophy match against Railways, where Virat returned to domestic cricket after 13 years.

In the ongoing match between India and England at the Barabati stadium in Cuttack, the fans turned up in thousands to watch Virat bat as the RCB star missed the first ODI because of a knee injury. Meanwhile, two ball-boys got lucky as they got to shake hands with Virat during one of the overs.

A video has been doing rounds on the internet where Virat went across the boundary rope to shake hands with two kids, whose reaction went viral as they were over the moon and couldn't believe that they just shook hands with one of the modern greats. 

The kids were jumping for joy and they took their moment to realise that such a moment occurred in real and they weren't day dreaming. Watch the incident here. 

Virat Kohli Takes Two Catches To Bring India Back In The Hunt

Notably, soon after greeting the kids with a handshake, Virat was immediately put to task as he took a simple catch of Joe Root to send former England captain packing. Root was looking dangerous and could have scored a century in ODIs for the first time since 2020. 

Virat then took another simple catch and was alive in the field that delighted the Indian fans, who were worried after his injury concern. Talking about the match, India need to chase 305 runs to win the series.
