Kohli invited Hassan to meet him whenever Aleem officiates matches involving India, and promised to send him a signed bat.
Kohli, 27, due to his flamboyance and consistency, has a lot of fans around the world. Many Pakistani cricket fans, despite their team’s arch-rivalry with the Indian neighbours, also admire the right-hander and aspiring cricketers look forward to learn the secrets of his success.
Hailing from Delhi, the middle-order batsman averages 51 and 46 in ODIs and Tests respectively and is a live-wire as a fielder.
The former India U-19 captain is also a media-savvy personality and is one of the fittest athletes in the world.
