[Watch] Virat Kohli spotted having a chat with chief selector Ajit Agarkar ahead of India vs West Indies 1st ODI
Star Indian batter Virat Kohli was spotted having a chat with the new chief selector Ajit Agarkar at the Kensington Oval ahead of the first ODI between India and West Indies. Kohli was having a word with Agarkar during the practice session of Team India in Barbados.
Agarkar reached the West Indies earlier this month to follow the Indian cricket team's matches against the Caribbean side. He will closely watch the three-match ODI series because the selection committee will have to pick the squads for Asia Cup and ODI World Cup in the coming days.
Kohli, who remains one of the most important members of the Indian ODI team, looked like he had something to discuss with Ajit Agarkar. You can watch the video of their interaction in the below tweet:
