Virat Kohli won the heart of Pakistani bowler Abrar Ahmed, social media post made headlines
The India-Pakistan match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 may have been known for its thrill, but in the post-match commotion, one player caught everyone’s attention. Pakistan’s young spinner Abrar Ahmed not only made headlines by taking the wicket of Shubman Gill, but his celebration also created a lot of controversy. However, a social media post by Abrar after the match changed the whole story.
Abrar’s heart touching post for Kohli
After losing to India, Pakistan’s team was eliminated from the tournament, but Abrar Ahmed had something else going on in his heart. He wrote a special message for Virat Kohli on his Instagram account.
Abrar wrote, “It was like a dream come true to bowl against the man whom I grew up watching play since childhood. The way Virat Kohli encouraged me shows his greatness. He is a greater human being than the great player on the field.”
Kohli’s generosity despite controversial celebration
When Abrar Ahmed dismissed Shubman Gill during the match, his aggressive celebration was disliked by many people on social media. Fans advised him to follow the spirit of the game. But Virat Kohli ignored the celebration of this young bowler and praised his performance. This is the reason why Abrar’s heart became even bigger for Kohli.
Pakistan’s dream shattered, India enters the semi-finals
Pakistan’s journey in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was very disappointing. The Babar Azam-led team first faced defeat from India and then Bangladesh. At the same time, their last league match was also washed out due to rain, which completely ended their hopes of reaching the semi-finals.
At the same time, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has confirmed its place in the semi-finals with two consecutive victories. Now Team India will face New Zealand in its last league match.
Pakistan was impressed by Kohli’s humility
Even though there is a tough competition between India and Pakistan on the cricket field, Kohli’s humility has once again shown that cricket is not just a game, but also a name of emotion. This post of Abrar Ahmed is becoming increasingly viral on social media and Indian fans are also praising Kohli.
