Awww, is all we could think of. What a great way to celebrate a win.
As the players headed out of the stadium, Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma entered the stands to meet an excited Charulata Patel, an 87-year-old Indian fan who is already famous for her passion for cricket.
Virat tweeted about the meeting later on and melted hearts:
