Virat Kohli adviced the budding Pakistani cricketer to believe in himself.
Virat Kohli is a sports icon whose popularity knows no bounds, reaching across the border to Pakistan. This was proven when Hassan Dar, a budding cricketer and son of Pakistani Umpire Aleem Dar, sent a video message to the Indian test captain.
On receiving the message, the 27-year old Indian cricketer replied to Hassan with a video message of his own. Kohli motivated Hassan to work hard and believe in himself and promised to send an autographed bat for his young fan. Kohli also invited the young Pakistani cricketer to visit on a tour with his father.
Aleem Dar is currently one of the umpires at India’s tour of West Indies.
