Under 19 World Cup: Kohli Interacts With India Players Ahead Of The Finals

India will face England in the Under 19 World Cup final

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli spoke with the players of the Indian team playing in the Under-19 World Cup final.

Kohli spoke to Indian Under-19 team captains Yash Dhull, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, and Kaushal Tambe sitting at Antigua hotel on a Zoom call and congratulated them for reaching the final of the Under-19 World Cup.

At the same time, he told the Indian junior players what it meant to play in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. Indian U19 will face England U19 in the Final. This will be India's fourth consecutive final at this level since 2016.

When Kohli was the captain of the Indian team at the junior level, his team defeated South Africa in a tense final in Kuala Lumpur in 2008.

It is not known whether BCCI secretary Jay Shah requested Kohli to talk to the players of the U-19 team or NCA chief VVS Laxman. But Kohli inspired all the players before stepping foot on the field for the final.

Rajvardhan Hangargekar wrote on his Instagram, "Virat Kohli Bhaiya it was great to have a conversation with you. Learned some important things from you about life and cricket which will help us to get better in the days to come."

Indian Captain Yash Dhull tweeted’ “An inspiration for millions. Thank you captain for some valuable tips before finals.”

On the other hand, Kaushal Tambe wrote some important tips from Got (Virat Kohli) before the final. The team's head coach Rishikesh Kanitkar was also present in it.
