Virat Kohli, the renowned Indian cricketer known for his exceptional batting skills and fierce on-field demeanor, recently captured the hearts of fans with a heartwarming gesture. As the much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan drew near in Colombo, Kohli’s love for dogs took center stage. During a training session at the R Premadasa Stadium, the former Indian captain was spotted spending time with a cute little puppy on the sidelines.
Kohli’s compassionate nature has always been evident off the field, and this delightful moment showcased another side of the acclaimed batter. The video capturing the interaction between Kohli and the adorable puppy quickly spread through the internet after being shared by the Royal Challengers Bangalore on social media.
In the video, a tiny puppy can be seen running towards the player circle during the practice session, heading straight for Kohli. The cricketer not only played with the pup but also passed a football to it before it left the ground. The Royal Challengers Bangalore captioned the video, Your morning dose of cuteness featuring the King. It did not take long for fans to notice that this was not the first time Kohli had been spotted with a dog, as one fan shared a picture of the Indian star taking a selfie with a canine companion.

Kohli and the Indian team are currently competing at the Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka. In their first match against Pakistan on September 2, Kohli was dismissed early with only four runs to his name. However, his teammates, Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan, put up impressive performances to help India recover. Unfortunately, the match had to be abandoned due to rainfall at the end of the first innings.
Despite the early dismissal in the previous game, Kohli has had an outstanding year with four international centuries so far. Two of these centuries were scored in a series against Sri Lanka, while the others were achieved against Australia and West Indies. As India prepares to face Pakistan once again in the Super Four game, Kohli will be eager to make a significant contribution and help his team secure a spot in the Asia Cup final.
Virat Kohli’s affectionate gesture towards the puppy not only showcases his love for animals but also highlights his compassionate side off the cricket field. As the clash between India and Pakistan looms, fans eagerly await Kohli’s performance, both as a remarkable batsman and as a compassionate individual who genuinely cares for those around him.
