Team India have made a solid start to the three-match Test series in Visakhapatnam after opting to bat first in the first Test. Meanwhile, just ahead of the game, India skipper Virat Kohli met his super-fan who had tattooed Kohli’s pictures in his body.

n a cricket-obsessed country like India, the game is followed like a religion and cricketers are worshipped as gods. The fans don’t hesitate to go out of their limits to support their favourite stars. Like Sudhir Gautam for Sachin Tendulkar and Sarvanan Hari for MS Dhoni, skipper Kohli also has a die-hard fan in Pintu Behra from Odisha who has tattooed the cricketer’s images on his body.

The ardent fan of Virat Kohli has a gigantic size tattoo of jersey no 18 on his back along with many others on his whole body. It was three years ago when Behra got his first tattoo and has been adding more ever since then. He revealed that he has a total of 15 on his body now.

Moments before the start of the first Test in Visakhapatnam, Pintu Behra got to meet his idol. Not only that, but he also got a hug from the legendary cricketer. Behra said that the tattoos are a way of showing respect to his god, Virat Kohli.

“People get tattoos as fashion or to show respect to god. Kohli is my god and this is my way of showing my love and respect for him and how he plays his cricket. Whatever he has achieved so far or done on the field that I liked, I got it inked,” Behra said.

Furthermore, Pintu Behra revealed the moment when he fell in love with Virat Kohli and decided to ink his pictures on the body. The young man from Odisha is probably the most unique fan one had ever witnessed until now.

“That was when I decided that I will do this. But I didn’t have enough money for it. So I started saving money and as soon as I had enough, I got the first one and continued to add to that,” he concluded.
