Talisman Indian batter Virat Kohli was recently spotted making his way to his hotel in Kanpur, where the Indian team is staying ahead of their second Test against Bangladesh. Known for his warm gestures and kindness towards fans, Kohli found himself in a humorous situation with a hotel staff member who attempted to welcome him.
A Warm Reception for Kohli in Kanpur
Upon arriving at the hotel, Kohli was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of hotel staff and fans eager to catch a glimpse of the cricket superstar. The welcome included gifts, flowers, and an elaborate ceremony featuring a tilak on his forehead. Kohli, embodying his approachable nature, patiently engaged in the festivities, showcasing his appreciation for the warm reception.
However, as he entered the premises of the team hotel, the celebrations took an amusing turn. A staff member handed Kohli a bouquet of flowers while extending his hand for a handshake. In a light-hearted moment, Kohli, juggling the flowers in one hand and his belongings in the other, humorously declined the handshake by saying, “Sir, do hi haath hain” (Sir, I’ve got only two hands).

Kohli’s Recent Performance
The 35-year-old cricketer recently made his return to Test cricket after an absence of roughly eight months. However, his comeback was less than stellar, as he struggled with the bat during the first Test against Bangladesh, scoring just 6 and 17 in two innings. Despite this setback, fans remain optimistic about Kohli’s potential to bounce back in the upcoming match. As a result, Kohli stooped to the 12th Position in Latest ICC Rankings.
Kohli’s ability to maintain a sense of humor amidst pressure reflects his personality both on and off the field. His candid interactions with fans and staff continue to endear him to supporters who admire not only his cricketing prowess but also his humility.
Before arriving in Kanpur, India enjoyed a commanding victory over Bangladesh in Chennai, winning by 280 runs. The match saw standout performances from players like Ravichandran Ashwin, who scored a crucial century and took six wickets, earning him the ‘Player of the Match’ award. Young batting sensation Shubman Gill also made headlines with a fluent century that laid a solid foundation for India’s massive total.
