Virat Kohli's Heartwarming Gesture at Charity Event Captivates Fans
Virat Kohli Shines Off the Field
Although Virat Kohli has stepped away from Test cricket, he continues to win admiration off the field with his kind actions. Recently, he attended a charity dinner in London, hosted by his close friend and former teammate Yuvraj Singh, aimed at supporting the YouWeCan Foundation.
The event attracted numerous cricket legends, including Sachin Tendulkar, Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen, Brian Lara, and Ravi Shastri. Also present were India's new coach Gautam Gambhir and several other current and former cricketers, making it a star-studded evening.
Kohli's Viral Moment
Despite the presence of many famous personalities, it was Kohli's simple yet heartfelt gesture that caught everyone's attention. A video clip from the event has gone viral, showcasing Kohli sitting beside Kevin Pietersen. When someone waved at him from a distance, Kohli responded with a bright smile and a wave, prompting fans to describe the moment as "adorable" and likening it to "pure Pookie behavior," a term used by Gen Z to denote cuteness.
Additionally, when asked about his wife Anushka Sharma and their children, Kohli chose to remain quiet, instead using a gentle hand gesture to indicate they were at home resting. This tender moment resonated deeply with fans.

This appearance followed Kohli and Anushka's stylish outing at Wimbledon 2025, where they witnessed Novak Djokovic's victory over Alex de Minaur in the Round of 16. The couple turned heads with their elegant formal attire at Centre Court.
Kohli's participation in the charity dinner also came on the heels of his recent IPL 2025 title win with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), marking his first IPL championship as a player and adding to the significance of the season.
