Pak fan holding Virat Kohli poster with message on It, Shoaib Akhtar reacts to viral pic
Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is one of the best batsman the game has ever seen. He holds many records in international cricket and is possibly the most talked about cricketer in the world. The 33-year-old is adorned not only in India but all around the globe. And a proof of that was seen during the ongoing PSL match.
Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar shared a picture of a fan holding a Virat Kohli poster during a PSL match. "I want to see your century in Pakistan," read a message on the poster.
"Someone spreading love at the #GaddafiStadium," wrote Shoaib Akhtar along with a photo of the fan holding the poster.

While Virat Kohli has not been at his absolute best in the past couple of years, the former Indian skipper is still one of the most feared batsman in the cricketing world.
Kohli last knocked a ton in international cricket in 2019 but still managed to average over 40 in 2020 and 2021.
Though, Kohli continues to wait for the elusive hundred in 2022, he has shown glimpses of returning to his absolute best. In the final Test in South Africa in January this year, Kohli scored 79 and 29 and followed it up with two fifties in the three-match ODI series against South Africa..
The run machine did struggle in the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, notching scores of 8, 18 and 0 but he scored a fluent 52 in the second T20I against the Caribbean side ahead of being afforded a break by the BCCI for the last T20I.
Virat Kohli has also been ruled out from the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka that is set to start on Thursday but will return to play the Tests that begin from March 4.
