[Saba Sports News] Legendary Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli recently met a young fan during a net session in Colombo, Sri Lanka, as they prepared for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka.
The boy had an iconic photograph of Kohli and Rohit with the T20 World Cup 2024 Trophy. Kohli autographed the photo and posed for a picture, followed by Rohit. The heartwarming video has received much love from cricket fans.
India will play three ODIs against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on August 2, 4, and 7. Although initial reports suggested Rohit and Kohli might skip the series, fans were thrilled to see them in the 15-man squad.
This series marks the first ODI appearance for the duo since last year’s World Cup final defeat to Australia.
Both announced their T20I retirements after winning the T20 World Cup final on June 29. Since then, India has played eight T20Is, winning seven.
Rohit and Kohli performed exceptionally in the ODI World Cup 2023, with Kohli finishing as the highest run-getter with 765 runs and Rohit as the second-highest with 597 runs. They aim to continue their stellar performance in the 50-over format.
