“Live dekha tha apko [I saw you live],” said a third.

This, however, is not the first time that this Pakistani fan expressed her love for Virat Kohli and went viral for the same. During the rain-affected India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 match in Sri Lanka, the woman chose Kohli over Pakistan captain Babar Azam. When a reporter asked her to choose between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli, she favoured the latter.
The fan, who had both India and Pakistan flags painted on her cheeks, then expressed, “Virat Kohli is my favourite player, and I came here, especially for him, because I wanted to see him. I was expecting his century. My heart got broken.”
