Virat Kohli's epic reaction as paps say 'BGT Mein Aag Lagani Hai'

The ace cricket player Virat Kohli was sighted at the Mumbai airport as the Indian cricket team prepared for the red-ball match against New Zealand, which begins on October 18. As was to be expected, as soon as Virat was seen at the airport, photographers began to swarm him.

While some took his shots, others made an effort to strike up a conversation with him. The superstar of the Indian cricket team was left dumbfounded when a photographer stated, "BGT mein aag lagani hai (You have to light up the Border-Gavaskar Trophy)" as Virat was about to leave.

Notably, star batsman Virat Kohli missed the entirety of India's home series against England in January–March of this year because he welcomed his second kid with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma. Virat would like to continue being completely accessible for the November BGT assignment.
