Virat Kohli's Selfless Act For Bumrah Involving Chepauk DJ Wins Hearts During Cricket World Cup 2023
Virat Kohli impressed both experts and fans with his phenomenal knock to guide Indian cricket team to victory over Australia in their opening match of Cricket World Cup 2023 in Chennai on Sunday. Kohli ended with 85 off 116 deliveries as he stitched together a crucial partnership with KL Rahul to make short work of the 200-run target. However, the star India batter was dominating headlines even before he faced a single ball in the match. During the 33rd over of the Australia innings, the DJ at the Chepauk asked the crowd to cheer for Kohli but the former India skipper instantly turned and pointed at Jasprit Bumrah in a gesture to ask the DJ to cheer for the fast bowler instead. “Virat is asking us to cheer for Bumrah instead,” said the DJ, and the crowd quickly responded by loudly cheering for him.
