Asia Cup 2022 is just two days away and already we’re hearing stories of excited fans approaching their favourite cricketers for autographs and pictures. Virat Kohli is one of world’s mega stars and there’s no doubt about that. His stardom transcends beyond India’s border and many fans across the world want to take a glimpse of him. He even has fans who can do anything to meet the talismanic Indian batter, even for a trivial thing as getting a selfie.
Before the blockbuster India-Pakistan clash on Sunday, August 28, the teams have started training and fans have clustered round the stadium like honeybees. During India’s first practice session on Wedneshday, a beautiful gesture by Kohli is becoming the talk of the town.
After training, when Kohli was heading back towards the dressing room, a fan was rushing to meet his idol. He claimed that he is from Lahore (city where Babar Azam was born) and wanted to click a picture with Kohli but was stopped by security guards.
Initially Kohli kept walking but when the fan screamed at Kohli and told him that he has come all the way from Pakistan only to get a picture with Kohli. Kohli noticed that and came back later for the selfie.

The fan’s name is Mohammad Jibran and in an interaction with PakTV, he said that meeting Kohli was a moment he’ll never forget.
“I am not a fan of anyone but Virat Kohli, for whom I have come from Pakistan hoping to get a picture clicked with him.

He listened to me and and agreed to my request of getting the selfie clicked,” the fan told PakTV.
He added that he wants Kohli to return to form even if the game is against Pakistan. He added that he has not gotton a single picture clicked with any of the Pakistani cricketers in his life but he always wanted his picture with Kohli.
