NEW DELHI: For a 17-year-old being greeted by superstar Virat Kohli with a bow and folded hands is stuff of wild dreams.
But for Sarfaraz Khan, the unimaginable came true when Kohli’s gesture for him put the young batter on cloud nine.
It was April 29, 2015 and Sarfaraz had just scored a cracking 21-ball 45 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru down the order to propel his side to 200 for 7 in an IPL clash against Rajasthan Royals.
And as soon as Sarfaraz wrapped up his unbeaten knock, skipper Kohli came onto the field with a big smile on his face and a lovely gesture.
Recalling the moment, Sarfaraz shared details about his first ever interaction with Kohli and how his gesture made his day.
“I met him at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium for the first time. I had scored 45 runs in 21 balls here and he bowed at me. I had a lot of fun that day. It was a dream to share an Indian team dressing room with him it will come true in the future if I get the opportunity,” Sarfaraz told Jio Cinema.

Sarfaraz shared his experience of playing alongside the batting great in RCB and highlighted Kohli’s love and passion for the game.
“His (Virat Kohli’s) passion and spirit are unmatched. Whenever I saw him, even in the pre-match meetings, he’d take charge and tell everyone how many runs he’d score off a particular bowler and break that down for everyone. To be gutsy enough to stand up and talk with such positivity in front of everyone and then deliver the next day is a very unique ability,” Sarfaraz said.
Both Sarfaraz and Kohli will team up together, this time in the India jersey when Rohit Sharma and Co. take on Bangladesh in the first Test in Chennai starting September 19.
While Kohli has been gearing up for Test series in the training camp in Chennai, Sarfaraz, who recently wrapped up his Duleep Trophy duties, is expected to join the team soon.
