Virat Kohli was back in Delhi after completing the three-match ODI series against West Indies, and the former India captain used the opportunity to meet his old teammate and close friend Suresh Raina.
Kohli, who featured in all three matches of the ODI series, had a memorable outing in the opening game after scoring a century. He played a crucial knock for India and continued to underline his importance in the 50-over format.
After the conclusion of the third ODI in Mullanpur, Kohli returned to Delhi, where he met Raina and his son. The meeting turned into a special moment for Raina’s family, with the former India batter clicking a picture with Kohli and his child.

Raina later shared the picture on social media, giving fans a glimpse of the warm interaction between the two former India stars. Sharing the photograph, Raina wrote, “Thank you @virat.kohli for making his day so special!” along with heart and sparkle emojis.
The post showed Raina standing alongside Kohli, while his son posed between the two cricketers. The photograph quickly attracted attention from cricket fans, with many appreciating the friendly interaction between the former teammates.
Kohli and Raina have shared a long association in Indian cricket. They were part of India’s white-ball setup during some of the country’s most memorable campaigns and have also played together in the Indian Premier League.
While Raina retired from international cricket in 2020, Kohli continued to remain a key figure in Indian cricket. Despite their careers taking different paths, the two have maintained a strong friendship away from the cricket field.
The latest meeting once again highlighted Kohli’s friendly nature and his close bond with former teammates. For Raina’s son, getting to spend time and click a picture with one of Indian cricket’s biggest stars made the occasion particularly memorable.
