Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is all set for the ICC 2017 Champions Trophy after finishing his forgettable Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign.  Before the Champions Trophy, Kohli got a new fan. The latest inclusion is none other than South African legend Jonty Rhodes’ daughter India Rhodes.

Rhodes is part of the Mumbai Indians’ coaching staff and he posted a picture on social media where his daughter is seen hugging a poster of Kohli.

Her father may be employed by Mumbai Indians but it seems that India has got a soft spot for the RCB superstar.

Rhodes’ Twitter post read: “It would seem that @imVkohli has another fan- not that we blame India Rhodes @pumacricket @mipaltan”
