‘A true inspiration…’: Pakistan star shares heartwarming post for Virat Kohli
Abrar shares glorious tribute for Kohli in social media post
Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed, who recently came under sharp criticism for giving a send-off to India batter Shubman Gill during the clash in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, shared a tribute for India star cricketer Virat Kohli on his official social media account.
With Kohli set to make his 300th appearance for the Men in Blue in the one-day format with the clash against New Zealand on Sunday, Abrar wrote a heartwarming post for the India batter, calling him his childhood hero.
“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!”, Abrar wrote in the post.
In the marquee clash between India and Pakistan in the ICC event, it was Rohit Sharma and Co. who once again emerged victorious. The defeat saw Pakistan crash out of the tournament following 2 losses in as many matches.
The hosts weren’t able to end their campaign on a positive note either as their final group stage match against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi got washed out.
