These days, an old video of Virat Kohli is going viral on social media. In this video, while talking to a fan, he says he wants to go to Pakistan. Pakistan fans are reacting positively to this old video of Kohli, and they are ready to welcome Virat Kohli. Meanwhile, when former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi saw this video, he praised Virat wholeheartedly. He said that he expected the same from Virat.
Afridi said he had expected a similar statement from Virat. He thanked Virat for this statement and invited him to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024). He also said that if he comes here to play with the Indian team, it will be a matter of great happiness.
While talking to Odisha TV, this former Pakistan captain said, ‘Virat Kohli’s statement shows that such cricketers are truly brand ambassadors of their country. I had expected a similar statement from Virat Kohli. Thank you very much, Virat. We are waiting for you to come to Pakistan and play in PSL or come and play here with the Indian team. If you come here with the Indian team, it will be even better.’
Let us tell you that bilateral cricket is not being played between India and Pakistan due to tension in political relations and the promotion of cross-border terrorism. Both countries have played only in ICC or Asia Cricket Council (ACC) tournaments for over a decade. The Pakistan team last visited India in 2012 for a bilateral series.
Recently, Pakistan won the hosting rights to the Asia Cup 2023, which India refused to do. Later, Pakistan had to make Sri Lanka the co-host for organizing this tournament. Pakistan played league matches at home, whereas India played league matches, including its finals in Sri Lanka.
