Who Touched Virat Kohli’s Feet? Viral Video Stuns Fans

After claiming a comfortable win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) players were seen in high spirits, but the highlight of the game wasn’t just the scorecard. Following the five-wicket victory for RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, a very heart-warming gesture by a young LSG player caught everyone's eye.

Who touched Virat Kohli feet?

Naman Tiwari, the talented left-arm pacer for Lucknow, was seen engaged in a deep and mature conversation with the "King of Cricket," Kohli. As the chat concluded, in a moment of pure respect, the youngster bent down and touched Virat Kohli feet to seek blessings from their role model.

The video of this moment has since gone viral, stunning fans across social media. At the same time, Virat Kohli was visibly surprised and quickly pulled the youngster up with a laugh. It showcased the immense respect the new generation has for Kohli’s legacy.

Naman Tiwari, a 20-year-old left-arm fast bowler, has been making waves in the domestic circuit. Known for his sheer pace that touches 145 kmph, Tiwari first grabbed attention during the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, where he finished as one of the leading wicket-takers with 12 wickets.

His raw pace and disciplined bowling were the primary reasons LSG engaged in a heated bidding war to secure him for ₹1 crore in the auction. For a young player like Naman, getting the opportunity to pick the brain of the greatest batsman of all time, Kohli, is a dream come true, and Naman Tiwari touched Kohli feet after the match was a reflection of his gratitude for the guidance he received during their brief interaction.
