It goes same for Indian team captain Virat Kohli, who is an ardent footballer and recently met Tottenham Hotspurs’ footballer and England captain Harry Kane at Lord’s ground.

The two sportsmen have been mutual admirers of one another’s craft on social media and Kohli had earlier wished Kane well during the FIFA World Cup, while Kane returned the favour to him for the ICC Cricket World Cup. The two met on May 24, just before the start of the cricket’s most prized tournament which was hosted by the UK. This was the first time, the two greats met in person and the duo shared pics on social media.

With both England and India making it into the knockouts, both friends were seen having a light banter on the social media as Harry Kane mentioned in a tweet that he had a great time meeting Virat and wishes him for all the future matches in the tournament. But those pleasantries were limited till India faced England, where Kane wished for his home side to end up victors.
