Ahead of the opening Test match in Dominica, former India captain and maverick batter, Virat Kohli shared a heartwarming post with head coach Rahul Dravid and penned an emotional caption. Kohli's post related to the last time India were in Dominica to play a Test match in 2011. Both Kohli and Dravid were part of the Test against West Indies in Dominica in 2011, which ended in a draw.
"The only two guys part of the last test we played at Dominica in 2011. Never imagined the journey would bring us back here in different capacities. Highly grateful," Kohli captioned the post.
Meanwhile, Kohli is looking forward to catching up with his old mate Chris Gayle somewhere down the line, especially when the team is in Jamaica.
"Well Chris, I have hung out with him for so many years. I am sure that when we are in Jamaica, we will definitely go and meet Chris. He always invites the team home to have a good time and just chill out," Kohli said on 'Follow the Blues' on Star Sports.
Kohli and Gayle played a ton of cricket together when the latter was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad in the Indian Premier League. There are multiple videos on social media showcasing the camaraderie between Kohli and Gayle, both on and off the field.
The Indian superstar said everyone likes the 'Universe Boss' for his humble nature and hospitality.
"So I am sure he is going to do the same again if he is in town. Everyone loves him. We went last time as well to his place, we had a great time and he is such a humble guy. Definitely, if he is free and he is in town, sure we are going to catch up with him," he added.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma-led Team India is gearing up for a full-throttle bilateral series against the West Indies. The Indian side is already in the Caribbean undergoing rigorous training as the first Test of the tour is scheduled to begin in a couple of days. India and West Indies will lock horns in the first of two Test series from July 12 (Wednesday).
