'Made her day': Joshua Da Silva recalls his mother's meeting with Virat Kohli

It would beggar belief to expect a cricketer’s mother to turn up at the match not to primarily root for her son but meet her favourite player, especially when he happens to be from the team the son’s playing against. But Virat Kohli’s fan following can even make this happen. West Indies batter Joshua Da Silva’s mother turned up at the match, but to see her “favourite cricketer” Virat Kohli, not him. “My mom told me two days before the Test match that she will come to see Virat Kohli, not me. That was kind of funny….It just so happened that he was on the bus…so I went and knocked on the window. He came out and met my mom, made her day, made her year probably” said Joshua in a video tweeted by the BCCI.
