“BGT mein aag lagani hai,” says a fan to Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli was recently caught off-guard by a fan, and the internet reacted after seeing King Kohli in his grey beard.

Recently, Virat Kohli was caught off-guard by a fan, who told him to take the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series by storm. Earlier this month, India’s home season began with a strong 2-0 clean sweep win over Bangladesh. There are 8 Tests remaining in India’s ongoing World Test Championship cycle, including a 3-match series against New Zealand and a highly-anticipated tour Down Under.

Virat Kohli has an interaction with a fan who refers to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

Virat Kohli, India’s star batter, returned to India ahead of the series against New Zealand. He had an interaction with a fan at the airport that showcased the craze Indians have for the upcoming Test series. The video is widely spread on social media, where Kohli is seen making his way to the car when a fan shouts a request to him. He said, “BGT mein aag lagaaani hai (Set the BGT on fire).” The cricketing star was visibly caught off-guard and turned around with a surprised expression, asking, “Kisme? (In what?).” The fan clarified it was the upcoming BGT series. Kohli then gave a casual nod, saying “Acha (Ok),” before continuing on his way.

Many fans also noticed Kohli’s strikingly grey beard, with one fan writing, “Legend is getting old.” India will kick off the series against Australia on November 22, with the first Test scheduled in Perth. Before this, India will face a home Test challenge against New Zealand, beginning next week in Bengaluru.
