Watch: Virat Kohli stands up for Kamlesh Nagorkoti; slams a heckler

Cricket fans may be difficult for players to cope with at times. With their large fan base, it's difficult to avoid a few pictures and autographs. While it is not always possible for the players to please every fan, some get offended and give the cricketers a hard time. Recently, one such incident made Virat Kohli lash out at the spectators.

When the going gets rough, legendary cricketer Virat Kohli constantly stand up for his teammates. This time, he stood up for Kamlesh Nagarkoti. The Indian fans insulted the pacer by using foul language.  Kohli was enraged by this behaviour from a part of the Indian fans and confronted those people in Leicestershire during India's ongoing warm-up match.

The fans had demanded Nagarkoti for a photo, but they lashed at him after he refused. The video of Virat schooling the spectators has gone viral on the internet.

Meanwhile, India are currently playing against Leicestershire in a four-day warmup game ahead of the rescheduled Test match against England. The majority of Indian batters did not do well in their first batting innings. While Virat Kohli appeared to be in good form, he only managed 33 runs in the first innings. Srikar Bharat was the standout batter, scoring 70 runs in 111 balls. Before declaring the innings, the Indian team had scored 246/8 runs.

In response, Rishabh Pant's 76-run knock helped Leicestershire achieve 244 runs in the innings, giving India a two-run lead. India got off to a good start in their second innings, thanks to Shubman Gill and Srikar Bharat. The team led by Rohit Sharma put up some small cameos and managed a score of 198/5 until the 48th over in the second innings.

The rescheduled fifth game will be held on July 1st at Birmingham's Edgbaston Stadium. Notably, the final match of the series was postponed during India's tour of England last year because of a Covid-19 outbreak in the visitor's camp. The series is presently 2-1 in favour of India.
