The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli enjoys a huge fan following all over the world and not just common public but many from the cricketing community also admire him. During the second test match when the whole world was watching King Kohli inching towards his 29th test century and overall 76th international century, there was one fan who was pretty close to the Indian cricketer and he was with Virat Kohli on the ground (Queen’s Park Oval).
You must have guessed it, yes we are talking about the West Indian wicketkeeper-batter Joshua Da Silva who was seen praising Virat Kohli on a couple of occasions and when King Kohli completed his half-century, the WI wicketkeeper asked him to get a century in this test match. Later on, Joshua was also heard on stump mic that his mother called him and said that she was coming to the stadium for watching Virat Kohli and he just couldn’t believe it.
Well, Joshua Da Silva was absolutely correct as his mother did come to watch Virat Kohli bat and she also met King Kohli when all the Indian players were boarding the bus for the hotel. A video is going viral in which Joshua’s mother is seen meeting Virat Kohli and hugging him, she also got emotional after meeting him.

Later on, Caroline Da Silva also interacted with the Indian media and said that both she and Joshua are huge fans of Virat Kohli and it is a blessing that he is in their country. She adds that it is an honour to see him because he is the best batter of their lifetime and she really hopes that Joshua and everyone else can also follow so much discipline as Virat does.
