By now, you’ve probably seen that video everywhere. And honestly, doesn’t it feel straight out of Raanjhanaa? Almost cinematic. As if Virat Kohli was suddenly standing face to face with his own childhood self.
In that moment, time seemed to pause. A young boy, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Kohli’s younger days, unknowingly became the heartbeat of the internet. Suddenly, he was the talk of the town. And honestly, what does this tell you? That’s the kind of aura Virat Kohli carries - just looking like him is enough to make headlines. Such is his legacy. Such is his pull.
Even Kohli himself looked pleasantly stunned when he noticed the kid. You could almost see the thoughts racing through his mind. Was he remembering dusty grounds, borrowed bats, and dreams that once felt impossibly big? Was he seeing a reflection of the boy who dared to believe?
But the magic of that day didn’t stop there.
In Baroda, it wasn’t just a child whose dream quietly came true. The ground staff, often unseen, often unheard, were gifted a moment they’ll carry for a lifetime. When Kohli walked over, sat down on the ground with them, and clicked pictures like an old friend rather than a global superstar, something far bigger than a photograph was captured. Respect. Gratitude. Humanity.
No entourages. No barriers. Just genuine warmth.
They say humility is invisible, but if it ever needed a face, this was it. Not in record books or scorecards, but in small, deeply human moments like these - where a legend reminds everyone why he’s loved not just for his runs, but for his heart.
