NEW DELHI: Cricket has no boundaries. The love and adulation Indian cricketers enjoy around the world and in Pakistan is well-known. Pakistani cricketers are also famous in India and have many hardcore fans.
Virat Kohli is one player who is immensely popular across the border and there have been numerous instances when stories of his fans expressing their admiration for the former Indian captain have gone viral.
One such video is doing the rounds on the internet where a Pakistani female cricket fan expresses her admiration for Virat after the India=Pakistan clash in the ongoing Asia Cup.
But what's special about the video is that the girl is expressing her feelings for Virat in front of numerous Pakistani fans who try their best to heckle her.
"Chacha, padosiyon se pyaar karna buri baat toh nahi hai na," she even responds to one person who is trying to heckle her.
When asked to choose one player between Virat Kohli and Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam, the girl beamingly says, "Virat Kohli."
Though Virat has an excellent record against Pakistan, he was dismissed for 4 runs on Saturday in the match in Pallekele that was eventually washed out due to rain.
