Virat Kohli’s special gesture (‘Sport’ page, “‘Don’t boo, cheer Smith’,” June 10) — to be there for the underdog, more so one with a player he has clashed with and whose star is on the ascendant — is a special gesture, which perhaps represents the kind of Indian our founding fathers had in mind. Kohli has shown that his heart beats for the other India — the one where, in lore, gods, kings and the commoner arrayed themselves on the side of what is right. He has shown the sporting world an inspiring, transformative vision.
