Virat Kohli and Ashish Nehra

Viral Sach: The truth behind this picture of Virat Kohli and Ashish Nehra

For years, we have been coming across this picture where Ashish Nehra is honouring Virat Kohli when he was a boy. The caption of this pictures reads that Nehra had awarded Kohli but now he plays under his captain-ship. Here is the reality of this picture.

ABP News viewer Yasir Arafat has sent us this picture for investigation. When we investigated, we found that the picture was clicked in the year 2003.

Virat had performed well in an under-16 match and hence Nehra, who was rising star, had encouraged him.

The tournament had been organised in 2003 at Delhi’s Harinagar Sports Complex 2003.

Virat Kohli is India’s Test captain and Ashish Nehra has been out of the team for a long time, he hasn’t played under him in international cricket. He, however, has played under Kohli in domestic cricket as Kohli is the captain of Delhi. So this viral post is true.
