Following the contest, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli was captured sharing an endearing moment with Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf as he gifted a signed jersey to the pace merchant.
Although Pakistan lost the match, the bowlers showed tremendous fighting spirit while defending a par total, especially the young fast bowling sensation Naseem Shah, who was making his debut in the match. It would have been a completely different story for the Indian team had it not been for Virat Kohli, who played a valuable knock after the dismissal of KL Rahul for a golden duck.
The moment was captured on camera and was shared by the official Twitter handle of BCCI. The post by the apex cricketing board read, “The match may be over but moments like these shine bright A heartwarming gesture by @imVkohli as he hands over a signed jersey to Pakistan’s Haris Rauf post the #INDvPAK game.”
