New Delhi. Asia Cup 2022 is starting from 27th August. However, Team India’s first match will be with its biggest rival Team Pakistan on August 28. Team India sweated heavily in the nets before the Asia Cup. During this, the players of Team India also met other players, but the meeting that got the most attention was the meeting of Pakistan captain Babar Azam and former Team India captain Virat Kohli.
BCCI has posted a video on Twitter in which all the Indian players can be seen meeting the rest of the team. During this time Babar and Virat Kohli met each other. Both shook hands with each other. The two have a very good off-the-field relationship. Recently Babar Azam had supported Virat Kohli, who was struggling with poor form. When questions were being raised about Kohli’s poor form, then Pakistan captain Babar Azam supported Virat through a tweet.
This move of Babar was also highly praised in the cricket world. However, later Virat also replied to Babar’s tweet. Babar Azam wrote in support of Virat that this time too shall pass, stay strong. In response, Virat, while replying to Babar, thanked him and wished him all the best for the future.
Talking about modern cricket, both the batsmen are often compared. On August 28, the two will face each other after a year. Earlier both the teams met in the T20 World Cup where Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets.
