After Kamlesh Nagarkoti received some criticism from the Indian spectators at the Uptonsteel Cricket Ground during the ongoing tour game between India and Leicestershire, Virat Kohli defended the young pacer. When Nagarkoti was out in the middle as a replacement fielder on Day 2, a fan kept requesting him to take their picture. However, Kohli was not pleased with the fan’s actions and approached him right away.
“Kabse bula rha hoon, photo he nahi khicha raha. Mai meri job choddh ke yaha aaya hu. Kam se kam photo to khichwana chahie. Nagarkoti ko bula raha hoon (“I’ve been continuously asking for a photo. I came here after taking the day off from my office. So, I’ve been calling Nagarkoti to click a photo with me at least)” the fan confronted in Hindi.
“Match khelne aaya hai ya photo khichwane aaya hai (Is he here to play the match or click photos),” Kohli rebutted.
