No matter how intense the game becomes when Indian and Pakistani players battle it out on the field, the off-field relationship between the players has always been friendly and respectful.
Over the time, whenever the players of both teams have sat together, they have used words of love for each other. Their conversations on various TV shows have been really heartwarming and adorable.
Even recently something happened between Indian Cricket’s current captain Virat Kohli and Pakistan’s former captain Shahid Afridi that left everyone pleasantly surprised.
Virat Kohli gifted a signed bat of his to Shahid Afridi Foundation. Overwhelmed by the sweet gesture, Shahid Afridi had a beautifully thankful message for Virat. He tweeted-

Thank you @imVkohli for your kind gesture in support of @SAFoundationN. Friends & supporters like you ensure #HopeNotOut for everyone

Interestingly, Team India also gifted a signed Virat Kohli jersey to Shahid Afridi when he had retired from International cricket. The T-Shirt had a message, “To Shahid Bhai, best wishes, always a pleasure playing against you.”
