Kohlis cross -border heritage
Kohli’s popularity in Pakistan is not a current phenomenon – it has been building geopolitical tensions and traditional cricket rivalries for years. Its effect extends beyond the borders of India, with Pakistani fans admiring its clout, work morality and aggressive but respectful approach to the game.
Cases of this admiration have always appeared. In 2023, a fan based in Karachi stopped a poster that Kohli supported against Australia during a game in Pakistan, a gesture that was resonance with cricket lovers on both sides of the border. Incidents have often emphasized how Kohli’s brilliance on the field brought the fans in Pakistan, even if he was facing slim patches in his career. Regardless of whether it is his games, his camaraderie with Pakistani players or his respect for the game, Kohli has a following that opposes the political obstacles.
This latest moment of the Champions Trophy in Islamabad, where Pakistani fans once again expressed their appreciation for Kohli, continues his status as a global cricket icon. It serves as a memory that the love for cricket, despite national rivalries, connects the fans across borders, with Kohli being one of the few players in general.
