Virat Kohli Meets His ‘Mini-Me’ Ahead of NZ ODI Series

Ahead of India’s high-stakes ODI series against New Zealand, batting icon Virat Kohli shared a heartwarming moment. On Friday, during a rigorous training session in Vadodara, he paused to interact with young fans when he came across a young boy with a striking resemblance to a childhood version of Kohli.

Kohli is seen smiling and laughing as he looks at the youngster in the viral videos showing the encounter. Social media users were quick to react and shared side-by-side comparisons of the child with nostalgic photos of a young Kohli from his early Delhi days.

Fans have dubbed the child "Mini Kohli", with many commenting that there is "not even a 19-20 difference" (19-20 ka fark) between the two.

The heartwarming interaction comes at a time when Kohli is in peak form. While the intensity for the upcoming series is high, this "100% real" moment of connection with a young fan has provided a perfect pre-match light-hearted moment for cricket enthusiasts.
