He added, “The first one I got was in 2016 and I have been adding to that since. In total now I have 15. The first one I got was his face on my right chest and the latest has been the World Cup.”

Pintu revealed that his love for Virat Kohli increased when he saw him hitting Lasith Malinga during a match in Australia.
