“Got His Signature On The Ball”: Gujarat Cricketer Reflects On Dismissing Virat Kohli
During Delhi’s Round 2 Vijay Hazare Trophy clash against Gujarat, Vishal Jayswal grabbed attention after getting the wicket of Virat Kohli. Speaking in an interview with KADAK, released on January 1, the 27-year-old revealed that he didn’t have much opportunity to interact with Kohli after the match but did manage to get his autograph on the ball, saying:
“He also had to leave, there wasn’t much time. As soon as the match ended, I wanted his signature on that ball, so I went to meet him. I got his signature on the ball. We didn’t talk much. He just said that I was bowling well, to keep at it, that I was doing a good job, and that I would get more opportunities going forward.”
