“In 2022 I was in Nepal when a stranger, originally from India [of course not going to say his name so he doesn’t get in any trouble due to political reasons] praised my work. He mentioned he had connections to the cricket team, so I jokingly expressed my desire to talk to Virat Kohli”.
He said that the man messaged Kohli on his behalf requesting him for a call. “To my surprise, he messaged Kohli on my behalf, and I had the opportunity to chat with him via video call. As a Pakistani, I proudly acknowledge Kohli as the greatest batsman of this era” he concluded.
In a viral video on social media, Virat Kohli said that he would love to visit Pakistan as international teams have started visiting the country. So he is hopeful that his team would visit the country too.
It’s heartwarming to see the warm welcome the Pakistan cricket team received from fans in India after their arrival in Hyderabad. This visit marks an important moment for cricketing relations between the two countries, especially since the team’s last visit to India was seven years ago.
The security measures in place were understandably strict, given the significance of this event and the history of cricketing rivalries between Pakistan and India. The heavy security presence ensured the safety of the players and the fans.
