There’s no 2 ways about it. Last night’s match crazy (in a positively delirious giddy sort of way). In the space of 3 balls, every Indian fan went from total despair to undiluted joy. During Bangladesh’s unsuccessful run chase, Virat Kohli was fielding near the boundary.
A fan on Twitter uploaded this video of Kohli fielding as the crowd cheered his name.
But instead of thanking them or even soaking it in, the Indian vice-captain turned to the crowd and asked them to cheer for the only name that really matters- Team India.
As Tony Adams once said, “Play for name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the one on the back.”
