The poster, depicting a scene from the T20 World Cup 2021 where Kohli and Babar interacted on the field, captured the mutual respect between the two cricketing giants.
The picture of the fan holding up the poster quickly went viral, underscoring the shared admiration for both players despite their competitive rivalry.
The poster was spotted during the Stallions’ innings in the seventh match, where Babar Azam was representing the Stallions.
The fan’s enthusiastic exhibition not only drew attention but also underlined the capacity of cricket fans to appreciate and celebrate each other’s favourite players across national boundaries.
In a similar vein, another notable moment occurred earlier in the tournament when a Pakistani fan was spotted waving an Indian team jersey with Virat Kohli’s name at Babar Azam’s home ground.
As things stand, Virat Kohli might make his way to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy, setting the stage for an electrifying clash between him and Babar Azam.
Pakistani fans could then have the rare opportunity to see these two cricketing titans face off on their home grounds, rekindling their long-standing rivalry and displaying their exceptional skills on one of cricket’s grandest stages.
