Shehroze captioned the footage of his interaction with Kohli as follows:
“In 2022 i was in Nepal when a stranger, originally from India(ofc not gonna say his name so he doesn’t get in any trouble due to political reasons), praised my work. He mentioned he had connections to the cricket team, so I jokingly expressed my desire to talk to Virat Kohli. To my surprise, he messaged Kohli on my behalf, and I had the opportunity to chat with him via video call. As a Pakistani, I proudly acknowledge Kohli as the greatest batsman of this era.”
Here is a video of the video call that Shehroze uploaded on his Instagram account:
In the video, Kohli could be heard saying:
“Give my regards to your family and all your friends. Hopefully, we visit Pakistan soon, everyone’s started visiting now.”
