Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma make a little fans day in Sri Lanka ahead of the 1st ODI 

After their practice, star Indian cricket players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma posed for a picture to wow a little fan in Sri Lanka. Kohli was spotted approaching the spectator before the three-match ODI series.

Featuring the national tricolour in the backdrop, the young lad was clutching a photo of Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma with the T20 World Cup Trophy. Following Rohit in a touching display from the Indian batting greats, Kohli signed the picture and stood with the little admirer.

Rohit Sharma is poised to resume his participation in One Day International (ODI) cricket in the next series following an eight-month break, with his previous appearance being in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. Throughout the competition, he achieved the second-highest number of runs, accumulating a total of 597 runs from 11 innings. His average was 54.27 and his strike rate was 125.94.

Rohit exhibited exceptional performance in the just-ended T20 World Cup 2024. He secured the second-highest number of runs, accumulating 257 runs from eight innings. His average was 36.71, and he achieved a striking rate of 156.70. Notably, he also scored three fifties. Rohit is preparing for the forthcoming series and intends to sustain his exceptional performance in the 50-over format.

Virat Kohli eyes glory to the format after returning to One Day Internationals (ODIs) after a hiatus of seven months following the conclusion of the ODI World Cup. During that event, he achieved the remarkable feat of scoring 765 runs from 11 innings, resulting in an impressive average of 95.62 and a strike rate of 90.31. His exceptional performance included three centuries and six fifties, setting new records.

This series is crucial for both Kohli and Rohit, as India has a just six matches planned before to the Champions Trophy 2025. It is crucial for the great players to find their form in these games, as India is striving to clinch another ICC championship.
