“I have the memento from the Indian cricket team for the two legends of Indian cricket, they deserve it equally,” said Kohli while sharing some light moments with the cricketers.

Kohli showed a lot of respect to the duo and called Sehwag as ‘Bhayya’ (elder brother) in the video. Acknowledging the gesture from the Indian skipper, Zaheer and Sehwag thanked him and Indian cricket team.
