"I am a cricket lover from my childhood and became a big fan of Virat Kohli because of his style of playing," Virat Kohli's fan Pintu Behera told ANI.
"So, I have decided to show my respect to him in this way. When I decided to make tattoos in 2016, I didn't have money. So I started saving money and got tattoos inked," he added.
Behera said he spent over 1 lakh on his tattoos, including one of Kohli’s jersey number 18.
"I go to watch every cricket match of Virat Kohli within the country. I didn't go to watch the match out of the country. If I get a chance, then I will definitely go," he said.
Allthough he is yet to see Virat Kholi play on foreign soil, the fan counts himself lucky to have met the Indian captain.
"I didn't imagine that he would meet and hug me. It was a special moment for me. I had been waiting to meet him since 2016. Finally, I got the opportunity to meet him during Test Match between India and South Africa at Visakhapatnam in October," he said.
Previously, India defeated the West Indies in a three match T20I series 2-1.
