former captain of india Virat Kohli An Indian crowd got angry after he misbehaved with teammate and youngster Kamlesh Nagarkoti during India’s practice match against Leicester in England on Saturday (June 25). Virat has always been a character who does not shy away from his emotions and supports his teammates. This time, it was young Kamlesh Nagarkoti who suffered abuse from a group of fans in England and Kohli immediately noticed people in Leicestershire during India’s practice match.
Back in 2021, pacer Mohammed Shami was getting similar spectacle by fans like Kamlesh after India’s poor performance against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. Shami was mercilessly trolled on social media and people abused his religion and Kohli stood up for his teammate like a brother at that time.

Team India has reached England and is ready to play 6 white ball matches, including 3 ODIs and T20Is and a Test match starting from July 1. Notably, this will be Rohit Sharma’s first tour from home as the permanent captain of the Indian team. Rohit will look to win every match in this tour along with veteran batsman Virat Kohli as India eyes the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia later this year.
Team India is preparing for the upcoming fifth Test against England from July 1 – a match that was postponed since last year. Former India captain Virat Kohli was upbeat even before the training session. India is currently leading 2-1 in the Test series. The fifth Test match, which was to be held at Old Trafford in Manchester last year, was postponed due to COVID-19.
