New Delhi: Virat Kohli once again won the hearts of his fans at Perth Stadium on Saturday. A fan slowly unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a tattoo of Kohli on his arm, with one sole purpose: to get Kohli to acknowledge it. This scene unfolded amidst over 400 enthusiastic fans, immersed in the celebration of Kohlimania.

Autographs and Poses with Virat Kohli

Amidst the hustle and bustle around the practice area, Kohli patiently signed autographs and posed for photographs. Fans greeted him with jerseys, caps, bats, and cricket bats, both large and small. Even small children stood with posters, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

Rohit Sharma Welcomed

After Kohli’s 40-minute practice session, Rohit Sharma batted in the nets. About 45 minutes later, Rohit was escorted to the dressing room with equal fanfare. While there was no shirt-removal or tattoo-revealing incident this time, the excitement was still just as intense.

The Main Attraction for the Fans

More than the nets, the fans got a chance to get up close to Kohli and Rohit. Other players also joined in the cheering and ovations, but Kohli and Rohit’s popularity surpassed everyone else. This is a reminder of the special place their fan base holds in Perth, especially during their tour of Australia.
