Despite their bitter rivalry, cricket fans from India and Pakistan have a long history of respecting and appreciating each other’s teams. An example of this was seen on Friday as a fan in Pakistan holding Virat Kohli’s poster during the Pakistan Super League 2022 match between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators went viral on social media.
The poster, which depicts a Pakistani fan hoping to see Virat Kohli score his 71st century in Pakistan, went viral on social media across the globe and left a message for peace lovers.” I want to see your century in Pakistan #Peace.” Virat Kohli scored his last international century in 2019 and his fans desperately want to see him crossing the three figures.
