The year 2022 was the worst time for Virat Kohli in his cricketing career. Virat Kohli’s performance in 2022 was quite disappointing and many people criticized him heavily. However, at that time, Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam had tweeted encouragement for the experienced batsman of the Indian team on his official social media account.

Babar Azam and Virat Kohli both are considered among the best batsmen in the world. Babar Azam reveals about Virat Kohli’s encouraging message. He did not tell much about it but according to him the words of the Indian player were very important for him.

Let us tell you, Babar Azam is struggling with very poor form since World Cup 2023. These two players met in the Asia Cup 2023 and after that, they were seen talking a lot in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 also. In his interview with Zalmi TV, Babar Azam said, ‘Whenever we play against each other, I always try to talk to him. I ask him some questions and he helps me a lot.

I talk not only to Virat Kohli but also to Steve Smith and Kane Williamson whenever we have a match against Australia or New Zealand. I also had a good conversation with Virat Kohli. There are some things that we did but I can’t tell you anything about them.

People of India gave us a lot of love: Babar Azam

Babar Azam further said, ‘We had gone to India to play the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and the environment there is quite different. The entire stadium was blue but that’s what you can expect when you are playing in India. But we also get good support in other venues. I was not expecting this from India.

I went to India for the first time and had no knowledge about this country at all. It was a very different experience. The people of India loved us a lot and they also praised our cricket.
