German midfielder Toni Kroos keeps his promise; gifts a signed jersey to Virat Kohli
GERMAN MIDFIELDER Toni Kroos might be focussed in his team’s bid to win Euro 2016 but he has kept his promise and sent a special gift to India Test skipper Virat Kohli, who had earlier shown his support for the German side.
Ahead of the Euro 2016, Kohli took to twitter to reveal that he will be rooting for Germany. The Delhi lad donned the German national team jersey with number 18 jersey on his back, the same number he wears while playing for Indian colors.
Excited for #Euro16

Responding to Kohli’s tweet, Toni Kroos had praised his choice for picking 18 as the jersey number, as the midfielder too dons the same number for his national team. The Real Madrid star also promised to send a special gift for the RCB batsman.
