Later on, Sri Lanka couldn’t chase the target and they were restricted to the score of 306 runs for the loss of eight wickets after the completion of 50 overs. Eventually, India won the match by 67 runs and Virat Kohli won the ‘player of the match award for his match-defining knock in favor of India.

Subsequently, Virat Kohli was interviewed by the World's number one T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav, who wasn’t the part of playing XI during the first ODI. The Indian cricket Board happened to upload the video of this interview on their official Twitter handle.

In the interview, Surya asked Virat to talk about his 73^rd international century but the latter went on to praise his fellow teammate’s batting excellence rather than talking about his own achievement. This heartfelt attitude from the 34-year-old went very amusing to the Indian cricket fans. They took to Twitter to praise Kohli’s spirit for the teammates and his selfless attitude.

Here's how fans reacted:
