Pak fans yearn for Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni
MUMBAI: Pakistan is all set to host the landmark series which marks the return of international cricket in the country. The Pakistan national team will take on an ICC World XI in a three-match T20I series granted international status starting Tuesday, and the entire nation is caught in a frenzy.
The presence of a Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni would have boosted the event a zillion times, if Pakistan fans are to be believed.
INDIANS MISSING
While some of the best cricketers from as many as seven countries have reached Pakistan with the former Zimbabwean cricketer Andy Flower as their head coach, the Indians are conspicuous by their absence and there are many who do not like it.
As expected, no Indian was named in the ICC World XI which is captained by Faf du Plessis, and has current cricketers such as Hashim Amla, Tamim Iqbal, Thisara Perera, Imran Tahir and David Miller to name a few.
HISTORIC MOMENT
On such a historic moment for Pakistan, a country in which fans have waited for eight long and painstaking years to see international cricket returning to their country, Indian superstars like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are being missed.
That Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni command a lot of respect and love from across the border is not a surprise, but it was indeed a pleasant surprise for both the Indian superstars to be remembered by Pakistani fans on a historic occasion.
Many of them took to social media to express their thoughts.
