Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli recently made news by tweeting that he wanted to travel to Pakistan. The message went viral on social media. The enthusiastic response to Kohli’s remarks from Pakistani cricket fans demonstrates the international unity in the sport.
In response to Kohli’s remarks, the late great batter Shahid Afridi of Pakistan complimented him on serving as a national ambassador. Kohli had made a remark that Afridi had expected, expressing his expectations. In addition to thanking Kohli, he invited him to play in the Pakistan Super League or with the Indian side, saying it would be wonderful if Kohli travelled with the Indian squad.
According to Virat Kohli’s remarks, these cricket players serve as national ambassadors. It was exactly what I had anticipated Virat Kohli to say. I’m very grateful, Virat. We are waiting for your arrival in Pakistan to play in the Premier League or for the Indian squad. Odisha TV cited Afridi as saying, “It would be good if you came with the Indian team.”
Political unrest and terrorist attacks have caused tensions in India-Pakistan cricket relations for many years. The two teams therefore only play each other in ICC competitions. In an effort to restart the halted bilateral series, Afridi has long pushed for the Indian government to allow their cricket team to play in Pakistan.
In a previous statement, Indian captain Rohit Sharma indicated that he would be open to playing a Test series against Pakistan, demonstrating the two countries’ mutual desire for more cricket matches. Fans from both nations are looking forward to seeing their bitter rivals compete in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
