Year 2009. Dressing room of Indian cricket team. On one side, Virat Kohli’s face is full of excitement, curiosity and sadness. A chair is vacant on the other side. It was actually Sachin Tendulkar’s seat. It was the first time that Sachin and Kohli were playing a series together, even though it had been months since they arrived in the national team.
Kohli was delighted to meet his idol Sachin Tendulkar for the first time and share the dressing room. For two days, Kohli was thinking about what to say and how to behave when he first met Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli came to the dressing room after thinking many times and preparing for his first face-to-face meeting with Sachin Tendulkar. So when Sachin was waiting, 4 seniors of the team came around Kohli – Yuvraj Singh, Munaf Patel, Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh.
Munaf asked Kohli if he knows the rituals to be done when he meets Sachin for the first time. After hearing this, Koli was shocked. Yuvraj said that all the new players in the team have a habit of touching the feet of Sachin Tendulkar. By that time, Sachin reached the dressing room. All four pushed Kohli towards Sachin.
Sachin saw Kohli standing beside him without saying a word and asked about it. Kohli, who introduced himself first, fell straight at Sachin’s feet. Sachin, who was confused, picked up the bat and searched the matter. Sachin started laughing when Kohli said that the senior players told him to get blessings and that was what fell on his feet.
Sachin patted Kohli on the back and went to the ground, saying they did it to cheat and there was no such ritual. Seeing all this, the ‘Senior Chetanmars’ moved to a corner of the dressing room and were laughing.
