Of course, Indo-Pak matches are no less than a war between the two nations. However, cricketers of each team try their best to spread peace and harmony amongst theirĀ fans.
Despite being foes on the field, they exhibit great generosity through their simple, yet appreciable actions once the game is over.
Just recently, Virat Kohli wowed us all over again and gave the whole cricket fraternity some serious sportsmanship goals!
We all know how much he respects Shahid Afridi. Earlier, when Boom Boom retired, Kohli gifted his signed jersey to the Pakistani cricketer as a sign of respect for our sports star.
