Virat Kohli Receives Soil From School Ahead Of India vs Australia Clash

Virat Kohli received soil from his alma mater, Vishal Bharti Public School, ahead of the India vs Australia clash at the Kennington Oval in London on Sunday. The Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who never shies away from showing his love for the nation, was pictured smelling the soil before the start of the India vs Australia World Cup match.

India coach coach Ravi Shastri and former captain MS Dhoni watched on as Kohli received the soil. Kohli started his schooling at the Vishal Bharti before moving to the Saviour Convent in his ninth grade. In 1998, he joined the West Delhi Cricket Academy as part of its first intake while studying at Vishal Bharti.

Kohli has come a long way since then, breaking into the Indian team in 2008 and going on to be recognised by commentators and former players as the best batsman in the world across formats at present.
