Virat Kohli’s unmatchable class and batting skills have brought him fans from all corners of the world. People regularly make sketches, painting, tattoos, posters, etc to showcase their love and respect for the legendary figure. However, this time the tribute has come from a neighbouring country.
Renowned sand sketchers Rashidi Artists Gaddani from Balochistan, Pakistan made a massive portrait of the Indian cricketer on sand as a mark of respect and love. It was a huge well-made mural of Kohli with a message “Love from RA Gaddani” on top of the eye-catching art.
One of the hands behind the incredible art, Sameer Shoukat, posted videos of it being made on his Twitter handle. He even mentioned Kohli in hope of getting a response from the athlete. Since then, the videos are doing rounds on the internet and the netizens have been pouring love.
Amidst all the love and appreciation, Virat Kohli is currently enjoying splendid form on the crease. In the two matches he played in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the 33-year-old batsman lived up to his name.
Virat Kohli is back in form
The Indian batter made a remarkable comeback in the 2022 Asia Cup, ending his desperate struggle with the bat. He continued to carry his form into the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia. In the very first match against arch-rivals Pakistan, Kohli showcased his class and temperament to take Team India over the line.
After losing early wickets while chasing a tricky target of 160, Kohli showed resistance and built a significant partnership with Hardik Pandya. With 48 needed off the last three overs, the 33-year-old batter shifted gears and smashed Shaheen Afridi before taking on firing Haris Rauf for two consecutive sixes in the penultimate over.
Mohammad Nawaz, who was bowling the last over, made a couple of mistakes under pressure to which Kohli took full advantage. Kohli remained unbeaten on 82 off just 53 deliveries with the help of 6 fours and 4 sixes. Even in the second game, he scored an unbeaten 62 off 44 against the Netherlands to assist his side to win. It seems like he has found his golden touch yet again.
