Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma met a Pakistani fan in Perth ahead of the three-match ODI series against Australia. The two-star batters landed in Australia on Wednesday before the first match at the Optus Stadium on Sunday, October 19. The two batted in the nets to prepare for the big game. On Thursday, Virat and Rohit gave autographs to a fan outside the hotel.
Kohli signed a Royal Challengers Bengaluru jersey and an India jersey. On the other hand, Rohit came out of the bus at the request of a fan.
“It was lovely to meet Kohli, and I have met him in the past. He is humble, and I have to ask him once,” Sahil, who is from Karachi, said.
“The same goes for Rohit, who was already on the team bus. I signalled him and requested an autograph,” he added.

The tour of Australia also features five T20Is, but the two veterans have already retired from the shortest format. Shubman Gill will lead the Men in Blue in the fifty-over format after replacing Rohit as skipper.
The white-ball tour of Australia will start with a game on October 19 at Perth Stadium, followed by matches at Adelaide Oval and the Sydney Cricket Ground on October 23 and 25, respectively. The five T20Is will start from October 29.
