Shehroze Kashif was bursting with excitement when he hopped on Instagram to share his thrilling video chat with the legendary Virat Kohli the cricket maestro. Shehroze known worldwide as the youngest conqueror of K2 joyfully recounted his experience from July 2021.
By coincidence in Nepal in 2022 Shehroze asserts that he reached out to a stranger from India who praised his work and mentioned his connections with the Indian cricket team. Shehroze expressed his desire to have a chat with Virat Kohli and the stranger made his dream come true.
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.”
Virat Kohli up to this point never participated in an international fixture in Pakistan. The year 2008 marked the culmination of Indias last visit to the adjacent territory.
The forthcoming 2025 Champions Trophy is slated to occur in Pakistan casting uncertainty over Indias participation in the tournament owing to their reluctance to tour the country.
