In the video, Kohli says, "Hasan ji. I am sitting with your father here. And I have received your video, thank you so much. I would like to say as you said that 'hard work and dedication are very important', keep improving your cricket and believe in yourself. Hopefully I will meet you on some tour when you come when your dad Aleem Bhai is umpiring. I will definitely send you an autographed bat."
