Virat Kohli interacts with India’s Under-19 cricketers ahead of World Cup final

Exactly 14 years ago, Virat Kohli found himself where Yash Dhull is now. When India lifted the Under-19 World Cup in March 2008, Kohli, 19, and his young team rose to the top of world cricket. Today, Kohli is a superstar in Indian cricket, a successful captain with over 20,000 international runs, so it’s only fitting that he inspires India’s Under-19s currently seeking World Cup glory in the West Indies.

Two days before the all-important Under-19 World Cup final between India and England, the Indian Colts brought a surprise, with Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Kaushal Tambe, captain Dhull and others all getting the chance to interact with their team idol Kohli. It’s unclear who decided to arrange this, but whoever did.

The entire team gathered on a Zoom call, with India Under-19 coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar also present. The boys in blue cherished and enjoyed the moment alike, with several of them sharing screenshots of their conversations with the former India captain.

“It was really nice to interact with you Virat Kohli bhaiya. Learned some important things about life and cricket from you that will help us be better in the days ahead,” Hanggargekar wrote on his Instagram Story Road, while Spinner Tambe wrote: “Some valuable advice from GOAT ahead of the final.”

While the exact details of the interaction have yet to be revealed, rest assured Kohli will be talking to the youngsters, keeping himself and their feet grounded and focused, as Dravid did with the Under-19s in 2018. on the job at hand. With the big IPL 2022 auction looming, some promising players have grabbed the team’s attention and it’s easy to get carried away by the temptation to play in the Indian Premier League, and this is where Kohli’s influence will hopefully come in handy .

The stage will take place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, a sensational clash between India and England. With a 96-point win over Australia to reach their fourth consecutive final and their quest for a fifth Under-19 World Cup title, India have been on fire and easily beat teams in the competition. The Indian Colts are unbeaten on their way to the final despite being hit by Covid and with some of its big-name players unavailable for a few games.

About Squid Game

Squid Game season two premiered on December 26 last year. It starred Lee Jung-jae and centred around a secret competition in South Korea that target people in debt and the winner get a big cash prize. However, losing the game is deadly. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game season one released in 2021.
