“Virat came to me and said that you have just come to cricket and are talking so much. On hearing this, I replied that son, when you were playing in Under-19, then I was a Test cricketer of Pakistan. I played a Test match for Pakistan in 2006, but I got injured later.
Further Sohail Khan says that,
“After that Misbah-ul-Haq came to me and explained to me. And on the other hand Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni explained to Virat Kohli. After this Kohli went and stood quietly in his place.
