In the footage, Root can be spotted coming out of the dressing room with a tiny bowl in his hands. Then he approached his teammates who were playing with the kitten. In a heart-winning gesture, the 31-year-old batter sat in front of the little cat and kept the bowl before it.

The kitten, evidently quite hungry, accepted the offering and continued to have the food from the bowl. The sight delighted Root and his other team members and the smile on their faces said it all.

The caption of the post explained, “Always thinking of others. Joe Root is feeding one of the Pindi Cricket Ground’s kittens this morning at practice.”

Ahead of the first Test, England players and staff, including skipper Ben Stokes, fell ill after reaching Pakistan. Though there was no official clarification, the reason behind their illness was possibly food poisoning.
