Kohli Craze Takes Over In Pak Champions Cup, Fan Waves India Star's Jersey

New Delhi: There’s no one even remotely comparable to Virat Kohli’s global appeal. His enormous popularity played a big part in cricket securing a vote for a reinstatement into the Olympics for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Throughout his career, the 35-year-old has dominated all forms of the game to become a modern-day legend, inching ever closer to Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record books, and collected admiration from fans across the globe, including Pakistan.

On Sunday, another video of a Pakistan fan waving an Indian team jersey with the name of Virat Kohli went viral on social media. This act drew more attention than usual since it happened during the match between Stallions and Markhors, in which Pakistan captain Babar Azam was also playing.

This is the second time Virat Kohli’s followers successfully managed to bring him to end the deadlock, and this time also, it was Pakistan. A poster was waved during a PSL match in the country in 2022 which reads: “I want to see your century in Pakistan #Peace”. Recently, a Pakistani cricket fan attracted attention for showing off a pendant of Kohli during the T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan in New York.
