Called Virat His Childhood Hero
The Champions Trophy has already eliminated Pakistan from the competition. Players from Pakistan must refrain from participating in matches because there remains no active playing option available to them at present. Spinner Abrar Ahmed from the Pakistan team described Virat Kohli as his childhood hero through his social media platform. The experience of bowling to my biggest childhood idol Virat Kohli brought me much excitement because he gave me his sincere appreciation. Virat Kohli demonstrates equal excellence as a human being as he shows in his cricket career. People find inspiration in his character both while playing cricket and in his daily life. Abrar Ahmed received positive bowling feedback from Virat Kohli at some point.
The discussion unfolded when he signaled to Shubman Gill.
The spinner known as Abrar Ahmed demonstrates exceptional performance during his cricket role. During his bowling performance against India Abrar Ahmed recorded 10 overs with just 28 runs while dismissing Shubman Gill. Critics harshly condemned his motion to tell Shubman Gill to head back to the dressing room following the wicket of Gill. The internet community heavily mocked him through social media after this incident.
Wasim Akram Also Criticized Him
During Shubman Gill’s dismissal Wasim Akram who led Pakistan as captain and held status as fast bowling legend criticized Abrar Ahmed’s celebratory actions. According to Wasim Akram the situation during international cricket requires players to consider when their celebrations should occur. Pakistan faced a vulnerable situation while playing the match. He should avoid such celebrations in circumstances when Pakistan’s standing in the match becomes weak.
