Outside the stadium and across the streets of Delhi, one emotion dominates \u2014 Kohli fever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Another fan added, \u201cWe just want to see him bat live. Even one cover drive from Virat is worth coming to the stadium.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Such is Kohli\u2019s pull that loyalties may be divided in the stands, with blue and red jerseys mixing with chants reserved for the batting superstar. Whenever Kohli walks out to bat, the noise is expected to rise several decibels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
