Mumbai: The Indian Cricket Team’s Test skipper Virat Kohli, who is in Sri Lanka for a three-match Test series, got a new haircut, the picture of which he posted on his Instagram account.
Leading the Indian team for the first time as skipper in a full-fledged Test series, Kohli recently showered praises on Sri Lankan batting great Kumar Sangakkara, the latter of which will bow of cricket, playing his 134th and last Test at the P Sara Oval against India in the second Test, starting Thursday.
"I can imagine the kind of emotions he (Sangakkara) might feel because this is something that he has probably done for the last 20 years day in and day out of everyday life. And, not to do that anymore would be a big shock for anyone," Kohli told BCCI.TV as he gears up to plan Sangakkara's dismissal one last time in international matches.

"He has been a wonderful player for Sri Lanka. A lot of left-handers really look up to him for the way he plays. His technique and the way he has scored runs all over the world, his numbers speak for themselves. He is a wonderful human being. He is a lovely person.”
"I have had quite a few chats with him on the field and away from the field as well. I am actually glad that he is going to be playing his last few games against us because it is a special occasion for us to be a part of. Such a legend of the game retiring, as a young side it will be an honour for us to give him that respect in his last few Tests," he added.
"Hopefully he doesn't score too many runs against us but I really wish him all the luck with his life after cricket. It has been wonderful to know such a great player and a great man," the top-order batsman said.
