“I’m supporting Pakistani also, but I love Virat Kohli,” said this Pakistani fangirl
While it is often said that there is a lot of rivalry between India and Pakistan, some people are there to debunk such notions. A Pakistani girl who was disappointed that Virat Kohli could not hit a century and was dismissed so early is proof of it.
In the encounter between India and Pakistan, Virat Kohli’s early dismissal disappointed Indian fans. Joining this bandwagon was a fangirl from Pakistan. Her video showcasing her love for Virat is going super viral on the internet.
The viral video featuring this Pakistani girl shows how she expresses her disappointment over Virat Kohli’s inability to score a century, and how the rain called off the match. She mentioned in the now-viral video how she traveled to Kandy with the hope of witnessing Kohli’s stellar performance but was let down. What makes this tale even more intriguing is her unwavering admiration for Kohli over Pakistan’s own cricket sensation, Babar Azam.
In the video, the girl ardently declared her love for Virat Kohli, asserting her unwavering preference for him over Babar Azam. Nevertheless, like countless cricket enthusiasts, her spirits were dampened as the match concluded prematurely due to the rainy weather. She said in the video as we quote,

“I’m a bit upset as Virat Kohli is my favourite cricketer, and I wanted him to see score a century. I had come to see the match only for him and see him live.”
She further added,
“I’m supporting Pakistani also, but I love Virat Kohli.”
However, it is her reply to her fellow countrymen saying “Padosi ko pyaar karna…” that is winning hearts
While the girl professes her love and admiration for Virat Kohli, a fellow Pakistani is seen saying to the girl that she should support her own country Pakistan rather than India. However, the Pakistani girl gave a classy reply to the man that is winning hearts! She said as we quote,
“Chacha Padosi ko pyaar karna koi buri baat toh nahin hain na (Uncle, loving your neighbor is not a bad thing).”
Should learn from Pakistani cricket fans… always graceful in defeat or win. Game ko game hi rakho. #INDvsPAK pic.twitter.com/DfJYVZdZsl

This most-awaited match did not have the best of starts for the Indians however the middle order was eventually successful helping the team reach 266 in 48.5 overs. Hoping for a match between India and Pakistan where there would be no rain!
