PORT OF SPAIN: It was a dream come true for Mukesh Kumar, who had watched Virat Kohli’s on-field exploits in awe for so many years, when the former India captain hugged him on his first wicket. Mukesh Kumar, from Bihar’s Gopalganj district, who made his Test debut just a few months before his 30th birthday, has played for the Bengal Under-23 team to India A in the past seven years.
In a conversation with Mohammad Siraj on BCCI TV, he said, ‘When I got the wicket, Virat Bhaiya came running and hugged me. I just went to another world. The person whom I had been watching on TV for so many years hugged me. It was a wonderful experience.

He said, ‘When you and JD (Unadkat) bhai were bowling, Rohit bhai had said that quick wickets will not come on this pitch. Will have to work hard. Mentally he was prepared but it took some time when he was told about his debut in the team meeting a day before the match.
He said, ‘When I came to know that I was really playing, I was shocked. I was always ready to play and that’s why I went to the team meeting. I was feeling that maybe I could get a chance.
Mukesh said, ‘It was morning here and it was evening in India. When I reached the hotel in the evening, I talked to my mother. I said that mother I am playing for the country. All my relatives are also very happy who supported me from the beginning.
