Cricket fans across India dream of meeting Virat Kohli, and for one young fan from Kolkata, that dream became a reality just before the highly anticipated IPL 2025 opener between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

The KKR vs RCB match will kickstart the IPL 2025 season on Saturday, and ahead of that, Virat Kohli made a young boy live his moment on Friday.

Arham Shah, a budding cricketer from Sree Sree Academy in Tollygunge, finally got Virat Kohli's autograph after a long wait. On the previous day, Arham had spent four hours hoping to meet the cricket superstar but was unable to get close. However, his persistence paid off as he got another chance on Friday and managed to get this bat signed by Kohli.

Despite his busy schedule ahead of the practice, Virat took time to acknowledge young admirers like Arham, making the moment extra special for the aspiring cricketer.

With the KKR vs RCB clash set to electrify Eden Gardens, Kohli's gesture has already added excitement among the fans in Kolkata. His dedication to the sport and his supporters continues to inspire the next generation of cricketers across the country.

For Arham, this autograph is more than just a signature- it's a memory of a lifetime and a symbol of inspiration as he chases his own cricketing dreams. The young boy spoke to OneIndia Bengali, depicting his surreal experience.

"I was feeling scared when he [Virat] was coming close to me. I was shouting Virat Sir, Virat Sir and he turned back and gave me the signature," said the fifth standard student.
