In a delightful moment for cricket fans, two of India’s greatest cricketers, Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, were spotted together in New York. The encounter occurred ahead of Team India’s next T20 World Cup match against the USA on Wednesday.
The duo, who were possibly accompanied by Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, attended a ‘satsang’, sending the internet into a frenzy.
Virat Kohli in satsang?
Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar participated in a ‘satsang’—a spiritual gathering for devotional activities.
The event, held in New York, allowed fans to capture this rare moment as the cricket legends posed for photos. The image, shared by renowned Indian sports journalist and host Vikram Sathaye, quickly went viral.
Historic reunion of Virat Kohli-Sachin Tendulkar
This is the first public appearance of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar together since the 2023 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, where Kohli broke Tendulkar’s record for most ODI centuries by scoring his 50th.
Kohli had then bowed down to Tendulkar, acknowledging his legacy. Seeing them together again brought back memories of their significant contributions to Indian cricket.
On the Cricket Front
Although it is unclear whether Tendulkar and Kohli discussed cricket during their meet, fans speculated about possible exchanges of advice. Kohli, despite his recent form in the IPL, has struggled as an opener in the T20 World Cup. His low scores in matches against Ireland and Pakistan have been a concern. However, his Orange Cap-winning season in the IPL suggests he could bounce back.
Virat Kohli’s struggle as opener
Virat Kohli’s new role as an opener for India in the T20 World Cup hasn’t yielded the expected results. After scoring only 1 run against Ireland and falling cheaply against Pakistan, questions have arisen about his position.
However, India’s management seems likely to continue with Kohli at the top, opting for his experience and previous success over a change in the lineup.
India aiming for Super Eights
India’s next match against the USA is crucial. A win would secure their place in the Super Eights, where they will face stronger teams like Australia and South Africa. With Kohli and Tendulkar’s recent spiritual and possibly strategic meeting, fans hope it might bring a positive turn in India’s World Cup campaign.

Their reunion sparked discussions and nostalgia among supporters, highlighting the impact both players have had on the sport.
As India prepares for the crucial stages of the T20 World Cup, the sight of Kohli and Tendulkar together has given fans a morale boost. With the team striving for excellence, moments like these remind everyone of the legacy and inspiration that these cricket legends bring to the field.
