Virat Kohli yet again displayed his friendly side to his fans as at no stage did he look in anger or excessively annoyed by the noise coming from the back. The cricketer simply turned around and respectfully asked the group of cheering fans not to talk when he is about to face the delivery.
The amusing clip seen on Twitter is from the nets at the MCG ground in the build-up to the high-voltage encounter against arch-rivals Pakistan at the iconic venue on Sunday (October 23).

For one of the deliveries, however, he was compelled to turn around and ask a group of cheering fans not to indulge in excessive noise when he is just about to face up to the bowl since that causes him “distraction”.
“Yaar… practise ke time na bolo mat, distraction hoti hai (please don’t speak during the practise, it causes me distraction),” Kohli told to the fans who were clicking his pictures and creating the clip while urging him to hit the ball out of the park at the nets.

Virat Kohli would be determined to make a strong statement with bat in hand come the Pakistan game. The Indian No.3 had earmarked this T20 World Cup as his next big goal and would love to be the man to take India to the coveted trophy.
