Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli, known for his aggressive style of play and fierce determination on the cricket field, recently won the internet with a lighthearted moment that caught fans by surprise. The moment unfolded at an airport, where Kohli was preparing for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand and the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
Viral moment at the airport
The airport encounter quickly spread across social media, with fans loving Kohli’s witty response. Memes, reactions, and fan-made videos flooded the internet, highlighting this funny interaction.

While hurriedly making his way through the terminal, a reporter enthusiastically called out to him, urging, “Sir, BGT mein aag lagani hai” (You need to set the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ablaze).
