We all have our favourite stars and idol whom we admire a lot and are die-hard fans. Such a fan is Sohini who can’t keep calm when she gets to know that her idol and Cricket star Anil Kumble was on the same flight from Bangalore to Mumbai as hers. She was overwhelmed by what happened with her on the flight. Even we are quite jealous of her that she gets the chance to meet former cricketer Kumble that too in a very cute way.

Looking forward to the game! #INDvPAK #SelectDugout @StarSportsIndia #AsiaCup2018 pic.twitter.com/49TjRWKqJK
