“Just wanted to pay our condolences as the Indian cricket team to Mr Mohammed Shahid’s family. He’s an icon in hockey and brought so much glory to the nation. So it’s a very sad moment. We were informed about it this morning. Our sincere support and condolences to his family. May god bless his soul,” Kohli said.
