Ahead of the Indian cricket team's first Test against South Africa in Vizag, skipper Virat Kohli got to meet his super fan who surprisingly has his body covered with the tattoos of the India captain. Although Virat himself has many tattoos all over his body, his eyes were light up as he met the special fan Pintu Behra of Odisha.
Pictures of Kohli embracing his 'super fan' soon surfaced on social media platforms, and fans were quick to express their surprise.

Traditionally, the Indian cricket fans have seen Sachin Tendulkar's fan Sudhir attending almost all of the team's games while marking his presence in the stadiums all painted in the tricolours and Tendulkar's name and jersey No. 10 on the back. Behra, however, has gone a step ahead and got himself permanent tattoos to express his love for Kohli. The fan further expressed that he considers Virat as his 'God'.
Behra said that people get tattoos as fashion or to show respect to god and added that Virat Kohli is his god and this is his way of showing his love and respect for him and how he plays his cricket. "Whatever he has achieved so far or done on the field that I liked, I got it inked,” Behra was quoted as saying.
