Virat Kohli won hearts with a patriotic gesture at Sydney Cricket Ground after spotting an Indian flag dropped on the ground by a fan. The 36-year-old quickly picked up the tri-colour and handed it back while speaking to the supporter, with the moment going viral on social media. This came after Kohli's match-winning 74-run knock against Australia, ending his seven-month international cricket hiatus following two consecutive ducks. His 168-run partnership with Rohit Sharma, who scored 121, secured India's nine-wicket victory. Kohli also broke records, becoming ODI cricket's second-highest run-getter and surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's white-ball cricket tally, likely marking his final Australian appearance.
