Cricket fans are eying Virat Kohli ahead of India’s Asia Cup campaign as the former India captain is set to play the 100th T20I of his career in the India vs Pakistan match. In the match, he will become the first Indian batter, who has played 100 matches across all formats (Test, ODI & T20). The 33-year-old star got all attraction once again just because of his gladdening gesture after breaching security by a Pakistani fan for a selfie.
Just after finishing his training on Tuesday, the former India captain was going inside the team bus, but at the moment a fan approached him while breaching security to click a selfie, then security persons caught that fan and tried to thrash him, at the moment the fan shouted calling ‘Kohli’ sir… I’m from Pakistan and I want to take a photo with you, then India’s star batter turned back while pointing out security persons to stay andposed for a pic with him. Thereafter, Pakistani fan humbly thanks former India captain.
Pakistani fan posted that picture on social media and wrote, He [Kohli] is so humble, this is the best moment in my life. Soo after his post, the picture went viral across each social media.
