IPL 2021: RCB’s Mohammed Azharuddeen to get Virat Kohli’s autographed jersey framed
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) youngster Mohammed Azharuddeen took social media to post a photo with skipper Virat Kohli. In the photo, which was posted on Instagram, the India captain can be seen signing an autograph on a jersey for the 27-year-old. In his post, Azharuddeen also revealed that he is going ‘to get this jersey framed’. Azharuddin is known to be a fan of Virat Kohli and had also earlier posted a photo with the RCB captain and his wife Anushka Sharma. Azharuddin was roped in by RCB during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 auction in February. His debut season in the franchise tournament was cut short due to rising Covid-19 in India. IPL 2021 began on April 9 and was postponed on May 4, after the tournament also saw a rise in cases.
Some of the notable cases were Michael Hussey and Lakshmipathy Balaji from Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier also fell victim to the dreaded virus.
RCB was third when IPL 2021 was postponed by the BCCI. The Kohli-led outfit registered 10 points from seven games, behind table-toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) and second-placed Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Mumbai Indians (MI) occupied the other playoff spot.
