Cricket: Kohli overjoyed after meeting Richards

BCCI also tweeted pictures of the two in conversation and called Richards and Kohli the 'King' and 'Prince' respectively

Virat Kohli somes times comes out as disrespectful cricketer due to his aggressive behaviour on the field but he is far from that. He first showed glimpses of his immense respect for seniors when he bowed to Sachin Tendulkar, who was watching from the stands at the Eden Gardens, after scoring a mach winning 50 against Pakistan in the ICC World T20 tournament earlier this year.

And, when he met with the former West Indies legend Sir Vivian Richards, he was overjoyed. The Indian captain posted a selfie with the former Windies batsman on Twitter. 

What a memorable moment. With the greatest ever, Sir @vivrichards56. Words of gold from him. #Grateful #Memorable pic.twitter.com/sK0xsIDC3P
