India's Virat Kohli or Ahmed Shahzad? Pakistani Twitter users pick their favourite

A Pakistani Twitter account named All Pakistan Memes' ran a race to select between Ahmed Shahzad and the India skipper.

Mumbai: Team India skipper Virat Kohli has a huge fan-following all around the world, including Pakistan. In the past few months, the dashing right-hander has not only impressed with the bat but also led India handsomely in all three formats of the game.

India and Pakistan may share a heated rivalry, but when it comes to Kohli, seldom is it that the 28-year-old receives hatred.

Pakistan fans shared their admiration for Kohli on Twitter when an account by the name ‘All Pakistan Memes’ ran a race to select their favourite between Pakistan opener Ahmed Shahzad and the Indian skipper.

Twitterati was advised to ‘retweet’ for the Pakistani batsman and ‘like’ the tweet if they favoured the cricketer across the border. The Indian batsman completely floored Shahzad, amassing over 6000 likes in comparison to Shahzad’s odd-320 retweets.

However, many Pakistani Twitter users even replied about their decision to select Kohli over Shahzad, who often have been compared together on multiple instances for their looks and batting style.

Pakistani fans also shared their love for the Indian talisman when Pakistan hosted the ICC World XI in a three-match Twenty20 series, which the hosts eventually won 2-1.
