The India talisman also shares a good bond with players from Pakistan and is also adored by the masses of the neighbouring country. Even to a point where Pakistan fans have sharply criticised their own players and advised them to follow Kohli's footsteps.

Interestingly, the 29-year-old is the most followed cricketer in Pakistan, even more than players of the Pakistan cricket team.

According to Google Trends, Kohli was the most searched cricketer in Pakistan from December 18, 2016, to December 9, 2017. India’s run-machine even left behind the likes of Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, speedster Mohammad Amir and Ahmed Shehzad, who is often compared to Kohli.
