00:00 "Uncle, loving your neighbours is not a bad thing, right?"
00:03 "Virat, if you had to choose one of Babu Raju, who would you choose?"
00:06 "Virat Kohli."
00:07 An India-Pakistan cricket match inevitably stirs up emotions between little nations.
00:12 While the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan
00:17 was officially washed out on September 2,
00:20 a video reflecting the true spirit of sportsmanship has surfaced online.
00:24 A video of a Pakistani woman expressing her admiration for former Indian skipper
00:29 Virat Kohli has gone viral on social media.
00:32 In the viral video, one can see a woman in conversation with a reporter
00:36 who talked about the Asia Cup opener match.
00:38 She professed her admiration for Virat Kohli
00:41 while she was surrounded by people cheering for Pakistan.
00:44 An older man even tried to interrupt her as she expressed her admiration.
00:48 However, the woman cut him short by saying something delightfully unprecedented.
00:52 Loosely translated, she said, "Uncle, it's not a bad thing to love your neighbours."
00:57 Later, she was asked to choose between Virat Kohli and Pakistani skipper Babu Razam.
01:02 She picked Virat Kohli, which drew the flack from the crowd behind her.
01:05 "Uncle, it's not a bad thing to love your neighbours."
01:09 "Virat, if you had to choose one of Babu Razam, who would you choose?"
01:13 However, the internet showered praises on the Pakistani woman.
01:16 People called her a true fan of cricket in the comments section.
01:20 India's innings on Saturday concluded at 266 runs in 48.5 overs
01:25 with notable contributions from Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan.
01:28 The Pakistani bowlers, especially Shahid Afridi, who took four wickets for 35 runs
01:33 and Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, each claiming three wickets,
01:37 were instrumental in restricting India's total.
01:39 Kohli was dismissed for four runs of seven balls by Shahid Afridi.
01:43 However, the weather had the final say as the match was called off due to incessant rainfall.
01:48 As a result, both teams shared a point each.
01:51 This outcome ensured Pakistan's progression to the Super 4 stage of the tournament
01:55 with three points from two games.
01:57 India, on the other hand, was yet to secure their spot in the next round
02:01 and was expected to face Nepal on Monday.
