The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has made it a habit of enjoying an immense fan following not just in India but in overseas nations as well. Apart from loving his batting style, people love his personality and dedication towards cricket with many even considering him to be their role model.
While this is a common trait found in every Indian cricket fan who is a big admirer of Kohli, not many expect there can be a similar kind of a Pakistani fan to be a big fan of the India skipper, especially because the two nations are arch-rivals. Shattering this notion, one Pakistani took to Twitter to reach out to the Kohli and convey his love for him. He shared a picture where he is holding a poster with a special request written on it for Kohli. “Virat Kohli we want to see you playing in Pakistan,” the poster read.

Along with the picture, the fan wrote: “@imVkohli we are hoping you to come to Pakistan and play cricket here also. We love you I am big fan of you. Lots of love and strength from #PakVsSri #Lahore #Pakistan”. The post attracted several comments while some users echoed the same sentiments others were not very happy with the idea and posted some negative comments.
Here are some of the reactions:

Pakistan and Sri Lanka ODI and T20I series marked the return of international cricket to the South Asian nation. It was a momentous occasion for the Pakistani fans as they have not seen their team play international matches at home on a regular basis.
Pakistani team also did not disappoint their fans as they clinched the ODI series 2-0 after the first match was washed out. However, the home players failed to produce the same performance in the shortest format of the game and lost the series 3-0.
