Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli found himself in an awkward situation on September 25, 2024, when he refused to shake hands with a hotel staff member in Kanpur. The incident, which occurred just ahead of India’s second test match against Bangladesh, raised eyebrows as Kohli was seen walking past the staff member, leaving him hanging after an attempted handshake.
While Kohli’s camp has not commented on the incident, fans and commentators have speculated on the reasons behind the cricketer’s action. Some suggest that Kohli may have been focused on the upcoming match and simply did not notice the handshake. Others believe that it could be a reaction to health precautions, especially in light of heightened awareness about infections.
Regardless of the intent, the footage of the snub has gone viral on social media, with fans divided on Kohli’s behavior. As the Indian team prepares for the crucial match, the incident remains a talking point in cricketing circles.
