    Sri Lankan super fan is Kohli's special guest

    Indian captain Virat Kohli tied the knot with his long time partner Anushka Sharma on December 11th. The couple held a wedding reception in Mumbai on Tuesday where the who's who of cricket world and Bollywood made their presence felt. However, Kohli invited one special guest, Gayan Senanayake, Sri Lankan cricket's super fan which is drawing him a lot of praises.

    Who is Gayan Senanayake?

    Senanayake is a differently-abled Sri Lankan cricket's super fan. He travels often with the Sri Lankan cricket side overseas to support his country. Senanayake was in Mumbai to cheer for his team in the recently concluded bilateral series. He is an ardent fan of Kohli and had met him for the first time in the U-19 World Cup in 2007.
