New Delhi: Indian star batsman Virat Kohli may have been dismissed after a good start against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022, but he is sweating hard for the next match in the tournament. Kohli, returning from a month-long break, played a crucial 34-ball 35 against Pakistan as India beat Pakistan by five wickets on Sunday.
The former India captain Tuesday shared pictures from his workout session on social media, Koo App, as he prepares for the Hong Kong match.
At the same time, Kohli gifted Pakistan pacer Harris Rauf a signed Team India jersey after the Man in Blue defeated the Babar Azam-led side.
The BCCI posted a video of the star India batsman gifting an India jersey to a Pakistan pacer and wrote, “The match may be over but moments like these shine bright. A heartwarming gesture by Kohli as he hands over a signed jersey to Pakistan’s Haris Rauf post the INDvPAK game”
