Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium is buzzing with excitement as it hosts a Test match after three years, drawing cricket enthusiasts from near and far. Among the fans eagerly waiting to see Rohit Sharma & Co. in action was a determined 15-year-old boy from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh. The teenager, Kartikey, rode an astonishing 58 kilometers on his bicycle to watch his cricketing hero, Virat Kohli, bat in the second Test against Bangladesh.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Kartikey shares his journey, revealing that he traveled alone from Unnao to Kanpur just to catch a glimpse of Kohli at the crease. The young fan’s dedication highlights the passion that Indian cricket fans have for their favorite players, particularly Kohli, who remains a huge draw for crowds everywhere.
The former Indian captain is on the brink of a significant milestone in this Test match, needing just 129 runs to become the fourth Indian batter, after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar, to score 9,000 runs in Test cricket. Kohli, who debuted against the West Indies in June 2011, has accumulated 8,871 runs in 114 Tests so far.
As he aims to join this elite list, fans like Kartikey continue to remind us of the unmatched love and support Indian cricketers receive from their followers.
