Pakistani fans' appeal to Virat Kohli: The Pakistan team had to face a clean sweep in the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh. The brunt of this defeat has fallen on the head of veteran batsman Babar Azam. Because he could not even score a total of 70 runs in four innings. Babar Azam has been in poor form for a long time. In such a situation, the Pakistani team and Babar Azam's fans have made an emotional appeal to Virat Kohli to support Babar Azam. Fans want Kohli to support Babar Azam the same way Babar Azam supported him in 2022.
Pakistan's emotional appeal to Virat Kohli
After getting out for zero runs in the first innings of the first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Babar Azam scored 22 runs in the second innings and 31 runs in the first innings of the second match, thus he could score only 64 runs in 4 innings. In such a situation, former Pakistani cricketers have criticized Babar Azam's form, but fans have appealed to Virat Kohli to support his junior player in international cricket.
Babar Azam supported Virat Kohli
Let us tell you that Virat Kohli was also out of form in 2022 and during that time Babar Azam wished Kohli to come out of this difficult time and he wrote on X that this time will also pass. Stay strong Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli also reacted to this and wrote thanks to Virat Kohli. Earlier, Virat Kohli could score 16 and 17 runs in two ODIs on the England tour and was dismissed after scoring 1 and 11 runs in two T20 matches. At that time Virat Kohli's form had become very bad. However, Virat shrugged it off and now Pakistani fans want Virat to also support Babar Azam.
After Babar Azam's tweet, Virat Kohli took a break of about a month and did not even touch the bat. He made a direct comeback in the Asia Cup 2022 and scored a century as well as a single in the tournament, which was his first century in T20 international cricket. In the T20 World Cup this year, Virat played an unbeaten and historic innings of 82 runs against Pakistan. At present, Babar Azam is also in a similar situation. He has not scored a half-century in Test cricket for 616 days. Babar has also lost his captaincy.
You can see how Pakistani fans are appealing to Virat Kohli. A fan wrote that, when the great Virat Kohli was in bad form, Babar Azam tweeted for him that this time will also pass. At the same time, Virat Kohli believes that Babar Azam is also one of the great players. So will he support Babar Azam by tweeting? Because, Babar is going through a bad phase.
Babar Azam will play in the Test series against England, while Virat Kohli will be seen in the two-match Test series against the same Bangladesh team from September 19.
