Shahid Afridi Reacts To Babar Azam’s Tweet For Struggling Virat Kohli: Pakistan captain Babar Azam recently extended his support to former Indian captain Virat Kohli via a special Tweet, that became the talk of the town. Virat Kohli has been under the scanner of criticism and trolling for his extended lean patch, having not scored an international century since 2019.

Babar Azam Extended His Support To King Kohli

Virat Kohli returned to the Indian ODI side after recovering from a mild groin strain, however, he once again failed to make it big as he managed to score only 16 off 25 balls.

On Thursday, Virat looked in great touch as he smashed three glorious boundaries off the front foot, and just when it seemed he might make it big this time, he tried to hit one outside the off-stump – got an edge and Jos Buttler did the rest of the work.

After his dismissal, Pakistan captain Babar Azam took to his social media and extended his support to the Indian batting maestro. Babar backed Kohli and tweeted, “This too shall pass. Stay strong.”

Shahid Afridi Reacts To The Tweet

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has shared his thoughts on the tweet of Babar Azam. Afridi lauded Babar Azam’s gesture and said a response from Kohli would have been great as the sport improves ties between the arch-rivals. He said:

 “Be it cricket or any other sport, it improves relations (between countries). Athletes can do a much better job at it than politicians and a number of them are doing the same,” Afridi told SAMAA TV.

He added: “Babar has given across an incredible message. I don’t know if there has been a response from the other side. I think Virat should have responded by now. It would be a very big thing if there is a response to Babar’s tweet, but I don’t think that is going to happen,”
