Sachin Tendulkar gave Virat Kohli an autographed shirt.

The great blaster made this move before India’s historic match against Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
A t-shirt has several meanings. Kohli, who has broken records and set new standards in international cricket, has taken over from Tendulkar, the first player to score 100 international hundreds.

Kohli kissed Anushka Sharma after reaching a milestone, while Tendulkar applauded from the stands.
After winning the toss, Australia, famous for their ODI talent and World Cup wins, bowled first, setting up the last match. Everyone observed the two best Indian cricketers’ emotional conversation.
Tendulkar’s autographed jersey for Kohli symbolises their love and respect beyond cloth and ink. It symbolises Indian cricket, which excites millions worldwide.
