Earlier, Team India had presented Kohli's ODI jersey with signatures of team members on its back to Afridi when her retired.

The jersey was auctioned on July 31 in London and fetched over Rs. 3 lakhs. The money will be donated to 'Shahid Afridi Foundation'.

Currently, the Kohli-led Team India are touring Sri Lanka, where they will be playing a full series comprising three Tests, five ODIs and a one-off T20I.

The Men in Blue are leading the Test series 1-0 by registering a 304-run win in Galle.

The second Test starts on Thursday and will be played in Colombo.
