The India National Cricket Team will be playing against the West Indies National Cricket Team for a three-match series, which starts on Sunday, September 27th at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Ahead of that all the players were at a Muthoot FinCorp who became the title sponsor for the Men in Blue for the next two years.
During the event, cricketers were asked about certain off-the-field and dressing-room conversations, and Nitish Kumar Reddy revealed something special during the chat about the famous selfie with Virat Kohli. Apart from that, some cricketers also shared the best pep talk given by the players. Kohli during the event took a funny jab at Shubman Gill while after asked the best Insta Caption.
Nitish Kumar Reddy recalls 8 years ago memory with Virat Kohli
Nitish Kumar Reddy revealed his special moment with Virat Kohli, as he had clicked a selfie with the former India captain. The story dates back to the 2018 BCCI Awards, when the all-rounder was just 16. As Virat’s wife, Anushka Sharma helped him click a selfie with his idol, Virat, because he was unable to bypass tight security to meet a peak-fame Virat Kohli.

Recalling the incident from 8 years ago, he said at a Muthoot FinCorp event that, “I still have the selfie with me”. Now, coming to the present time, he currently shares the same dressing room with Virat, as he first shared the dressing room back in Australia when he was called into the Test team, which was also the final Test series for Virat.

In the same event, cricketers who were at the stage were asked about the player who gives the best pep talk, and surprisingly no one named the current Indian captain Shubman Gill, as cricketers went on to name the two former India captains Rohit Sharma and Virat.

BCCI announces new title sponsor
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) previously only informed that Muthoot FinCorp would be their new title sponsor, and on Saturday evening, right ahead of the first home series, they confirmed the same. Team captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain for the series, KL Rahul, were pictured in a frame with the trophy along with two Muthoot FinCorp representatives.
BCCI President Mr Mithun Manhas said: “Indian cricket’s home season brings together the national teams, domestic competitions and players at different stages of their journey. Muthoot FinCorp’s association as Title Sponsor reflects the strength and reach of Indian cricket and the connection it has with people across the country.
“There is also a natural connect between the two brands, with Muthoot FinCorp’s distinctive blue coming together with the Men and Women in Blue of Indian cricket. We are pleased to welcome Muthoot FinCorp to the BCCI family and look forward to building a strong association over the coming seasons.”
