Virat Kohli is all set to return to action for India and the fanfare has already started to follow him around. A large crowd gathered in front of the Indian team bus at the airport in Delhi on Wednesday morning, seeking autographs from Kohli. While many celebrities may turn a blind eye to such a situation, Kohli surprised everyone with his gesture. The 36-year-old, who was sitting next to Shreyas Iyer, signalled to a support staff member to receive the posters from the fans so that he could sign them.
As it turned out, the fans were able to send some of the posters in, which then Kohli proceeded to sign.
