The fan was Sahil from Karachi. Kohli smiled when he saw Sahil was waiting with an RCB jersey and he was going to auto finish. Later, Sahil asked Kohli to sign while he boarded the bus, and Kohli poked his head out and signed it for him. Sahil thanked the both players, and said that he had actually met Kohli previously, which he called ‘very humbling,’ and said that autographs from both players would make for a ‘really special’ day.
