Incumbent team India test captain Virat Kohli is not only setting records with his bat but also reaching out to fawning fans and how..........
One of Virat's legion of fans is highly respected and admired Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar's teenaged son Hasan who is a promising/buddin cricketer who is making his mark on the domestic Pakistani junior cricketing firmament........
Mr. Dar who was one of the on filed umpires in the just concluded Antigua test between India and West Indies and Virat Kohli were seated besides each other in an airport lounge while waiting to board a flight to their next destination when Mr. Dar received a video message from his son asking about Virat's whereabouts and well being.........
A demure and somewhat abashed Aleem Dar haltingly blurted out the fact that his son was an ardent Virat fan and would certainly be over the moon if Virat condescended to speak to him and utter a few words of encouragement........
Lo and behold; a gallant and chivalrous Virat more than readily agreed to encourage and inspire his avowed fan (Hasan) by asking him to put in more hours of unstinting and uncompromising practice in the nets as hard work; perseverance and attention to detail were the keys to his success and Hasan would do well to make the same an integral part and parcel of his work ethic........
Thrilled beyond words; Hasan promised his idol to etch his inspiring and encouraging words on his heart and try that much harder to carve out his very own niche in the uncompromising;unforgiving; demanding and cut throat international cricketing arena and swore to make his debut in Pakistani national colours within the next two to three years..........
Virat signed off by promising to spend time with the youngster and provide him with a few handy and life altering batting tips while holding out the promise of gifting Hasan with one of his valued/favourite bats if he bumped into him in tandem with his father during the course of a cricket fixture being officiated by his proud and preening father..........
Now you know why Virat is one of the world's most admired and respected cricketers and also why his fans transcend man made borders and confines.......
