Remember that Pakistani cricket fan who became an internet sensation for choosing Virat Kohli over Babar Azam during the Asia Cup 2023? She had travelled specifically to watch Kohli score a century, only to have her hopes dashed as the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match was abandoned due to persistent rain at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. Now, to everyone’s surprise, she resurfaced during the IND vs PAK T20 World Cup match on Sunday.
This time, the ardent Kohli fangirl was spotted with a pendant featuring Virat Kohli and his iconic jersey number 18. Her picture quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions online. “Wife material,” exclaimed one user. “He is a global icon,” commented another, while a third quipped, “Cameraman, focus karo!”

Time and again, she has shown her unwavering love for King Kohli. During the Asia Cup 2023, she was heard in a video saying, “I support both Pakistan and India, both together,” while pointing to her painted cheeks, symbolising her dual support.

However, when asked to choose between Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam and former Indian captain Virat Kohli, she didn’t hesitate to pick the latter. She passionately declared, “Virat Kohli… Virat Kohli is my favourite player; I have come here specially for him, to see him. I was expecting him to score a century, but I’m heartbroken.” When another Pakistani fan tried to intervene, suggesting that she supports Kohli and not necessarily India, she retorted with a smile, “Chacha, padosiyon se pyaar karna buri baat toh nahi hoti.”
