WATCH: Relive when fans argued with Virat Kohli for not clicking photos

The former Indian captain, Virat Kohli, is always attentive on the ground, but when it comes to his interaction with the fans, he can be a cheeky person. On this occasion, he was spotted teaching a fan who allegedly bothered the young pacer, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, during a practice game against Leicestershire.

The video went viral on various social media platforms, where Kohli was seen shutting down a supporter for his rude behavior towards the young pacer. The fan was continuously asking the bowler for a picture. The 22-year-old pacer, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, wasn’t part of the official squad for the England trip and was only travelling with the side as the net bowler.

The fan informed that he had taken a leave from his job for the game, and that was the reason for him to get the picture from Kamlesh. ‘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.’ And Virat replied straightway to say, ‘He is here to play the match, and not to click photos.’

That warm-up contest was played at the Upton Steel Cricket Ground, as the touring side took a huge lead on the third day’s play, because of the two opening batters, Shubman Gill and Srikar Bharat, adding 62 runs for the opening partnership. The latter scored 43 while the current Indian captain battled for 38 runs to extend their lead.

The one-off game didn’t go well against England for the Blue Brigade as the home side used their aggressive Bazball approach to smash the bowlers for the highest fourth-innings chase at Edgbaston. That was the penultimate red-ball game for the Delhi-born in England.

Kohli retired from the longest format a few weeks ago, just before the start of the current five-match Test series. That has now pushed the selectors to go with a young Indian side, who did well in the second game in Birmingham but are trailing by a 2-1 margin before the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.
