Virat Kohli finds the magical chair after nine years. See how!

Virat Kohli

Bengaluru, August 18: Indian captain Virat Kohli has returned to the venue where his journey at the top-flight cricket began nine years ago. It was in Dambulla Kohli made his international debut against Sri Lanka in a one-day match in 2008.

The match was not a memorable one for India and for Kohli. Sri Lanka routed India by eight wickets. Batting first India were bundled out for 146 with Kohli making a 12 before getting trapped in front of the wicket by pacer Nuwan Kulasekara.

Sri Lanka overhauled the target losing just two wickets with plenty to spare.

However, since then Kohli grew from strength to strength in all formats of the game before becoming the undisputed leader of the side in every branch of cricket.

Kohli, a man with a superb sense of occasion, did not forget to take a quick look back to the past while seating on the chair that he sat nine years ago. See the tweet from BCCI below.

A magical chair. Some would say!
