Virat Kohli would have no time left for himself if he obliges to autograph requests of every fan on any particular day. Fans eagerly wait for hours to get an autograph of India’s most successful Test captain. But the captain himself waiting for an autograph? Well, that’s something one wouldn’t dare imagining ever. Yet, that’s exactly what happened at Kingston in Jamaica where India beat West Indies 257 runs to clean-sweep the Test series 2-0 and complete a series whitewash in the Caribbean Island. In a video viral on social media, Kohli was seen asking a young fan to wait because he wanted an autograph from a small kid, who was attending his first Test match as a Team India cricket fan.
