IPL 2017: Watch: Virat Kohli Wins Heart With A Noble Gesture

India and Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is known for his aggressive attitude on the cricket field. One of the finest cricketers in the world right now, the 28-year old batsman loves to play the game in a tough way and is rarely seen sporting a smile on the cricket field. However, the fans witnessed a different side of his personality after his side registered a 10-run victory over Delhi Daredevils on Sunday (May 14). The man who wears his heart on the sleeves and never shies away from showing the aggressive side of his personality has now won each and every heart with a very noble and generous spirited behaviour off the field.

It was Virat Kohli and his team’s last chance to bow out of the tournament on a good note. While Kohli had managed just 250 runs in 9 outings prior to the match against Delhi at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Royal Challengers had become the first team to fall out of the playoffs race after managing just 2 wins in their 13 matches. But Kohli roared back to form at his home ground as he scored 58 runs to steer his side to a 161 for 6. Every shot of his was greeted by a loud cheer from the Delhi fans.

The loudest cheer of the night came when the Royal Challengers skipper reached his fifty. That moment showed how much love the city has for one of its finest sons. That was not the end. The crowd cheered for him while he was fielding too. There was applause and cheers every time the ball went to Kohli. And so when Kohli’s side managed to come out on the top in the match, Kohli made sure to thank the fans by a special gesture.

Kohli was named the FBB Stylish Player of the match for his score of 58 that was studded with three fours and the same number of sixes including a cover-drive that went all the way over the boundary rope. And right after receiving the award, the Indian cricket star jumped over the advertising hoardings to hand his award to one of his thousands of fans in the stands.

Here is a clip of that incident:
