She came into the limelight last year after she attended a World Cup (2019) match between India and Bangladesh. Impressed by her dedication, post-match, cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli went up to her to see her blessings.
The Indian Captain Virat Kohli was so impressed that he tweeted about Charulata Patel calling her a ”dedicated fan” and also gave her a free ticket for the Indian team’s next match against Sri Lanka.
