India’s captain Virat Kohli’s heartwarming gesture to England captain Joe Root just before last minutes of the play on day one of the opening Test has won hearts on internet.
After smashing a six off Ravichandran Ashwin’s last ball of the 87th over Root went down on the floor with a spasm. England Physio was out to help the skipper but he reached, it was India skipper but before he reached, it was India’s skipper Kohli who assisted Root with stretching of his right leg.
This ‘spirit of cricket’ gesture by Kohli won the hearts of the fans.
BCCI also shared the clip on Twitter captioning it as “#SpiritOfCricket at its very best”
