India Vs England: Virat Kohli’s ‘Class Act’ Wins The Internet, Twitter Says Spirit Of Cricket Upheld As Captain Turns In To Physio

<p>In a Day filled mostly with disappointment for the Indian team, it was heart-wrenching to see the Indian captain walk towards the English captain as he collapsed while taking a single in the dying moments of the Day 1 of the first Test match between India and England. After having a mixed session in the morning, England came back strong and did not lose a single wicket for 64 overs. Much of the credit should be given to the duo of Root and Dominic Sibley. Root has scored a hundred and is playing at 128*, while Sibley got out on the last ball of the Day&rsquo;s play after scoring a fighting 87 of 286 balls. He played a guiding innings so that Root could score his shots, ex-England captain, Michael Vaughan said that &lsquo;England have found their Pujara in Sibley&rsquo;. But, a full Day of batting at the Chepauk with hot and humid conditions of Chennai, it is extremely natural to be exhausted at the end of the Day.</p> <p>Joe Root too had a tiring Day and pulled a muscle while taking a single at the end of first Day&rsquo;s play. He collapsed on ground, but before any physiotherapist could walk on the ground to help the England captain, Virat Kohli took up the Physio&rsquo;s role and helped Root recover from the strain. Watch the beautiful gesture by Kohli here:</p> <p>&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpiritOfCricket?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#SpiritOfCricket&lt;/a&gt; at its very best 😊😊&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/INDvENG?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#INDvENG&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Paytm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@Paytm&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/imVkohli?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@imVkohli&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/vaEdH29VXo"&gt;pic.twitter.com/vaEdH29VXo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; BCCI (@BCCI) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1357650727460474880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;February 5, 2021&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</p> <p>BCCI from their official Twitter account also shared a video when MS Dhoni also did a similar thing.
