Keep shining and rising: Virat Kohli responds to Babar Azams tweet #IndiaNEWS #Cricket
London: After a tweet from Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, backing Virat Kohli took the internet by storm, the Indian batter gave a heartwarming response.
After missing the first ODI against England with a groin injury, Kohli made just 16 in the second match, which India lost by 100 runs at Lords.
Showing support to Kohli, Babar Azam had tweeted, This too shall pass. Stay strong. #ViratKohli , along with a photo of him and Kohli.
Later, Kohli replied to Babars tweet and wrote, Thank you. Keep shining and rising. Wish you all the best. Indias T20I squad to take on the West Indies is also missing his name, with Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal rested for the same tour.
With a T20 World Cup around the corner and World Test Championship points needed to keep up in a race for next years final, Kohlis place in the team is being debated by fans and former legends. However, he has the support of Babar Azam.
Making international centuries in recent series against Australia and the West Indies, as well as a T20I half-century against Australia in Lahore last month, Babar is top of the list in the ICC batting rankings for both ODI and T20Is, and fourth in Test cricket.
Earlier in the week, Kohli also found support from captain Rohit Sharma, who stood up for his teammate ahead of the England ODIs.
When someone is scoring consistently for so long, we cant overlook his contribution if he is not scoring in one or two series or in one or two years, ICC quoted Rohit as saying.
We know the importance of Virat Kohli. The experts have got all the right to talk about it but for us these things dont matter, he added.
