Keeping his promise made to Charulata Patel, Virat Kohli arranges World Cup tickets for her

The match between India and Bangladesh was remarkable for the sensation and spirit added to the team by an 87-year-old fan. The best moments of the match were to see her cheering and whistling for her favourite team and then see Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma taking blessings from the aged fan of the team.

Charulata Patel, the oldest fan of the team, became a much famous and talked-about person when she was spotted cheering for team India. Media became more conscious and concerned about her once the star cricketers of the team Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could be seen sitting beside her and taking her blessings and love.

Reportedly, Virat had asked Charulata to attend all the remaining matches and had also promised her of arranging the tickets for the remaining matches for her. Accordingly, Virat kept his promise and arranged the world cup tickets for her. A picture of Charulata sitting in the gallery and cheering for her team could be seen shared by BCCI. She could be seen cheering for India while the team was playing against their Asian rivals Sri Lanka. The photo shared by BCCI also accompanies a note which said, ‘Dear Charulata Ji, It is so inspiring to see your love and passion for our team and I hope you enjoy the games with family. Lots of love and regards, Virat Kohli.’

Seeing such high spirits among the Indian fans, irrespective of their age and sex is heartening and that will certainly help in boosting the spirit of the team. Indians carry a strong passion and love for the game of cricket and that can be visible strongly in Charulata Patel as well. Despite not being born in the Indian soil, she has the blood of an Indian in her veins for being born to Indian parents and that is the bond that attracts her towards the team India.
