Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Delighted By 'Lagaan' Poster At ODI Match

Cricket fans in India share a deep bond with their favourite players, such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The affection is often displayed through placards, posters, and various write-ups.

During the 2nd ODI in Sri Lanka on Sunday, an unusual incident took place. A fan managed to bring laughter to two of India's biggest cricket stars. This happened at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo as the Indian team prepared to bowl.

Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Arshdeep Singh were near the boundary line, waiting for their teammates. As Kohli was getting ready, he noticed a fan's poster that caught his attention. He immediately called Rohit Sharma over to show him the poster.

The sight of the poster made both Kohli and Sharma burst into laughter. Shreyas Iyer and Kuldeep Yadav also joined in on the fun. A fan captured this moment on video, revealing what had caused such amusement among the players.

The poster was a creative piece featuring Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and other players. Their faces were edited onto characters from the movie 'Lagaan'. Rohit Sharma's face was placed as the leader of this 'Modern Day Lagaan Warriors' team.

'Lagaan' is a well-known film starring Aamir Khan. It tells the story of Indian villagers defeating an English cricket team during British rule. The movie was a hit not only for its patriotic theme but also for its vivid portrayal of cricket.

India's Performance Under New Coach

Despite this light-hearted moment, India faced a tough match under head coach Gautam Gambhir. They suffered their first loss in this series. With one game left, they aim to level the series against Sri Lanka on Wednesday (August 7).
