Virat Kohli is a name in cricketing world whose craze does not know any borders. The same was evident in the second Test of the historic series between Pakistan and Australia, where a fan shared an emotional message for the star Indian cricketer.
Virat has not been in his usual sublime touch in the last few months. He has been in search of his 71st international century for about two and a half years. But this period of the cricketer’s lack of form has not affected his popularity. The wonderful things he has already done in the international arena have earned him a huge base of loyal fans.
The second Test between Pakistan and Australia saw a fan of Virat Kohli at the Karachi stadium, sharing a message for the star cricketer, and proving that the love for the star is not affected by borders or political sentiments. The fan was seen with a banner that read, “Dear Virat! Whether you score a century or not, you’ll always be my hero.”
The image of the fan with the banner soon went viral on the internet. The fans and followers commented on the image, admitting the fact that the two countries, though considered arch-rivals on the field, are united by the love for the star Indian batter.
Virat’s popularity in Pakistan has been visible in the last few days, where Pakistan fans have been expressing their love for Virat Kohli during Pakistan vs Australia matches.
Virat Kohli getting so much love from across the border was a beautiful cricketing moment. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli failed to live up to his fans’ expectations again as he was dismissed LBW for 23 in the first innings of the second Test against Sri Lanka.
