A viral social media video captured a memorable moment when Pakistani mountaineer Shehroze Kashif had a video call with Indian star batter Virat Kohli.

Kohli, who has a significant fan base in Pakistan, expressed his hope to play in Pakistan soon, noting that international teams have begun to visit the country again.

Shehroze Kashif shared this interaction on his Instagram, explaining that the opportunity came about in Nepal in 2022. There, he met an Indian national who admired his work and claimed to have connections with the Indian cricket team. Kashif mentioned his wish to speak with Kohli, and to his surprise, the stranger arranged it by messaging Kohli on his behalf.

In his Instagram post, Kashif wrote, "In 2022, I was in Nepal when a stranger, originally from India (of course, I won’t reveal his name to avoid any political issues), praised my work. He said he had connections with the cricket team, so I jokingly expressed my desire to talk to Virat Kohli. Surprisingly, he messaged Kohli, and I had the chance to chat with him via video call. As a Pakistani, I proudly acknowledge Kohli as the greatest batsman of this era."

In the video, Kohli can be heard saying, "Give my regards to your family and all your friends. Hopefully, we visit Pakistan soon; everyone's started visiting now."
