India aimed for a whitewash against Bangladesh in the second Test in Kanpur. A downpour the day before the match left the outfield wet, delaying the start and the toss until 10:00 AM, pushing the match back by an hour.
Yet, passionate fans always find a way to make their presence felt, and one such moment unfolded with a groundsman at the venue.
As one camera captured Kohli walking around the field for a pre-match practice session, a large cover sheet remained over the pitch with groundstaff nearby.
When one of the groundsmen approached Kohli, he suddenly dropped to his feet in a gesture of respect.
VIRAT KOHLI, AN EMOTION ❤️
