Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed has shared an emotional post on social media, calling India’s Virat Kohli his childhood hero. The post came just days after a thrilling clash between India and Pakistan, a match that saw Kohli score a stunning match-winning century. In the high-stakes encounter between the two teams, Kohli’s century was a masterclass in batting, further solidifying his standing as one of the game’s all-time greats.
"Bowling to my childhood hero Virat Kohli. Grateful for his appreciation—his greatness as a cricketer is only matched by his humility as a person. A true inspiration on and off the field!"
However, it wasn’t just Kohli who had a significant impact on the game. Abrar also made a key contribution for Pakistan. He claimed the precious wicket of Shubman Gill, who is one of India’s rising stars. Abrar was also under fire for his fiery send-off to Shubman Gill.
Meanwhile, Indian batter Kohli lauded Abrar’s incredible spell. Abrar returned with the figures of finishing 1 for 28 from his 10 overs. India had claimed a six-wicket victory over Pakistan, with Kohli leading the side to a thumping win with his unbeaten 100. That was Kohli’s 51st ODI hundred.
