Virat Kohli and Eknath Shide both were in London, and they went to meet each other today, ahead of India's next series, which will be against the Afghanistan National Cricket Team in Delhi. It will be a T20I series, so Virat will not play in the contest. But the recent initiative by Shinde put the batting legend in the headlines again.
"Virat Kohli lives in London, and when he learned that I am here, he met me for a goodwill visit. I was delighted that such a big Indian cricketer, the one with the most centuries, is so down-to-earth. We had met before, but I was particularly happy with the direct conversation we had today. We also discussed the award I received," the Maharashtra deputy chief minister said.
Welfare schemes in Maharashtra were one of the topics of discussion
"I told him about various welfare schemes in Maharashtra. I spoke about infrastructure, and he himself remarked that the development Maharashtra has seen in recent years is unprecedented. I also shared our plans and the infrastructure projects currently underway," Eknath Shinde was quoted as saying by ANI.
