Since the Pakistani captain showed support for the India batter through his on-going batting struggles, their friendship as past captains of India and Pakistan has been the talk of cricket. And that happened at a time when Babar’s batting abilities were frequently contrasted with Kohli’s. Legends and experts praised Babar’s action, and a day later Kohli responded to the tweet as well. When Kohli and Babar crossed paths during their practise sessions, the two once again dominated social media in the lead-up to the highly anticipated India versus Pakistan Asia Cup match. Kohli disclosed his brief interaction with the Pakistani star prior of the pivotal game in Dubai.
Prior to the India-Pakistan match, Kohli spoke to Star Sports on his relationship with Babar, starting with their first encounter at the 2019 World Cup. Kohli lauded the Pakistan skipper for maintaining his composure despite his considerable success in international cricket.
“We initially spoke after the match in Manchester during the 2019 World Cup. Imad and him. I played against Imad when I was a U-19, so I knew him from those days. We got down and discussed the game after Imad stated Babar wanted to talk. He showed me a lot of respect and consideration from the start, and it hasn’t diminished despite the fact that he is currently among the best batsmen in the world across all forms and has been so consistently effective.
