Virat Kohli’s Punjabi connection with Shadab Khan goes viral

During a recent podcast appearance on Beard Before Wicket, Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan reflected on his initial encounter with Indian batting icon Virat Kohli. Shadab revealed that Kohli pleasantly surprised him by shedding his fiery on-field persona for a much warmer demeanor off the pitch, particularly after discovering that the Pakistani cricketer could converse in Punjabi.

Ever since that first meeting, the two opponents consistently use the language whenever they cross paths.
