Virat Kohli’s exceptional skills and breathtaking innings have earned him immense love from Indian fans. It is considered sportsmanship at its best when players from opposing teams praise Kohli. However, it is rare for a player’s cricketing abilities to touch the hearts of the opposing team’s family. This extraordinary occurrence happened to Kohli when West Indies star Joshua Da Silva’s mother hugged him and broke down in front of him.
A video capturing this heartwarming moment is currently going viral on the internet. In the video, Joshua Da Silva’s mother can be seen expressing her excitement and overwhelming joy as she meets Kohli. The video also features a stump mic conversation where Joshua reveals that his mother is a huge fan of the Indian cricket player.
In the video shared by journalist Vimal Kumar, Joshua’s mother describes Kohli as “one of the best batsmen in our lifetime.” She feels honored to meet him and witness her son sharing the field with the legendary cricketer.
During one of the previous days, Joshua had revealed on the stump mic that his mother had come to watch the match solely for the sake of seeing Kohli play. He was astounded by this revelation and couldn’t believe his ears.
Joshua’s mother was present on Day 2 of the India vs West Indies second Test match. To her sheer delight, Kohli scored a magnificent century, contributing significantly to Team India’s comfortable score in the match. Kohli’s knock of 121 helped India finish the first innings on 438.
Unfortunately, the ongoing India vs West Indies match on Day 3 has been delayed due to rain at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. West Indies is currently batting at 117/2, with spinner Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Mukesh Kumar taking one wicket each. Team India is currently leading by 321 runs.
