Virat Kohli will go down as one of the finest players in the history of the game and has broken plenty of records in his more than half-a-decade long international career. He has had an almost flawless career and has excelled across formats for the country, but in the process has not played domestic cricket since 2012. 

There is a news now that he would be featuring in Duleep Trophy ahead of the Bangladesh Tests, and it has naturally created lot of excitement around the cricket fans, especially in India. Now, an old post of Virat Kohli has also popped up where he is seen asking for luck ahead of the Duleep Trophy semifinal between North Zone and West Zone.

Virat Kohli was leading North Zone while Wasim Jaffer was the captain of West Zone. The 21-year-old Virat was still a newbie at that time and did not make his Test debut till then, so the game was important for him and he ended up scoring run-a-ball 56 in the match.

The same game included Rohit Sharma too in the West Zone side, and the current Indian captain scored a fifty in the first innings and a century in the second innings. So, if both these stalwarts come up against each other again 14 years later, it would be quite a fascinating watch.
