Virat Kohli was quick to confront the fan who kept asking Kamlesh Nagarkoti for a picture.
Digital Desk: Virat Kohli is a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and never hesitates to express his feelings to the bowlers. On this particular occasion, the former India captain was seen lecturing a fan who allegedly bothered youngster Kamlesh Nagarkoti during the ongoing warm-up game against Leicestershire.
In a widely circulated social media video, Kohli can be seen shutting down a supporter for his behavior. The fan kept pestering Nagarkoti for a photo. The 22-year-old Indian is not a member of the squad but is accompanying them as a net bowler.
The fan stated that he had taken time off from work for the game and deserved a photo with Nagarkoti. I've been pestering you for a photo. I arrived here after taking the day off from work. So I've been calling Nagarkoti to get at least one photo with me, "he explained. "He is here to play the match, not to take photos," Kohli responded.
The Indian team took a healthy lead on the third day of the four-day warm-up match at Uptonsteel Cricket Ground, thanks to openers Srikar Bharat and Shubman Gill, who added 62 runs for the first wicket.
Bharat scored 43 points and Shubman added 38 to help the visiting team extend its lead. Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas contributed 20 and 30 runs, respectively. Bharat had also scored 70 in India's first innings when the team declared on 246 for eight.
In the first innings, Kohli hit 33 off 69 balls and hit five boundaries, including a big six off Prasidh Krishna, before being caught in front by Roman Walker.
Rishabh Pant shone with the bat for Leicestershire in response. The eccentric wicketkeeper-batter scored 76 runs to help the English team reach 244. Pant and Walker provided a much-needed partnership that propelled the team past the 150-run mark.
