India captain Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma seem to have good hearts.

The first couple of Indian cricket made a kind gesture towards bowlers of the Indian cricket team, it was revealed on Tuesday.

Former England captain and cricket pundit Michael Vaughan explained the episode on Twitter.

 

“Witnessed @imVkohli & his wife give up their Business class seats to allow the Quicks more comfort & space on the trip from Adelaide - Perth !! Danger Australia .. Not only are the quicks more relaxed .. The Skipper is managing his troops with great human touches #AUSvIND,” Vaughan wrote from his Twitter handle.

Vaughan didn't mention which bowlers benefitted from the kind gesture of the couple.

The Indian team flew out of Adelaide on Tuesday, a day after beating Australia in the first Test by a 31-run margin.
