Twitter Goes Berserk As Waterboys Kane Williamson And Virat Kohli Chat Together Outside Boundary

Neither Virat Kohli nor Kane Williamson is playing the ongoing fifth and final T20I between India and New Zealand. The series is already decided with India winning the first four games of the five-match series. Williamson could not play the fourth game due to a shoulder niggle and it looks like he is yet to recover.
Virat Kohli, on the other hand, needed some rest after a busy January and thus the team-management rested him. However, both the superstars gave the fans a glimpse of themselves on the field although in a different way. Both the players were seen playing the role of water boys to serve drink to their teammates.

But that was not it. They won hearts of almost each and every cricket fan by sitting together outside the boundary and chatting to each other. Rishabh Pant was also sitting alongside them. As soon as the cricket fans saw the sight, they could not help but took to Twitter to express their feelings.
Here are some of the reactions to that beautiful moment between Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson:
Never thought I would see a situation where two of the worlds most iconic batsmen (that too from opposite camps) would be sitting outside the boundary laughing, chatting and watching an international game like two wide eyed ball boys! Love it #NZvsIND #kohli #williamson pic.twitter.com/Yrv5NGPhD7

No hatred towards Kane from Kohli for that semi final defeat. No off field rivalry from Kane for getting defeated series in home ground. This is the behaviour and sportsmanship what makes Kohli and Kane Williamson better than others.#NZvIND pic.twitter.com/nppmWMATfi

India, meanwhile, are eyeing a monumental whitewash in the series. After making light work of the hosts in the first two games, India were stretched in the next two games.
The fifth match could have the series-decider had Zealand managed to hold their nerves in the last two games. However, they made a mess of it. In the third T20I, Mohammed Shami defended three runs from the final five balls to force a super over before Shardul Thakur defended seven runs in the last over of the fourth T20I to force another super over. India went on to win both the games.
