The Unexpected Declaration

In an unexpected move that left cricket fans on both sides of the India-Pakistan rivalry in splits, IShowSpeed took to social media to praise Virat Kohli on none other than Babar Azam's Instagram post. Babar, the Pakistani cricket captain, shared an elegant photo of himself in a suit, expecting accolades from his fans.

"Virat obolo tos the GOAT"

However, it was Speed's comment that stole the show. He wrote, "Virat obolo tos the GOAT," which translates to "Virat Kohli is the GOAT." The comment quickly gained traction, triggering an avalanche of responses from cricket enthusiasts.

Banter at Its Best

Indian fans couldn't resist joining the fun. They flooded the comments section with playful jibes, echoing Speed's unique way of addressing Kohli: "Whyraat Kohli, Whyraat Kohli." The comment section became a battleground for fans from both nations, each championing their respective cricketing icons.

A Journalistic Misstep

Pakistani journalist @_FaridKhan attempted to add some perspective to the situation, praising Babar Azam as a "global brand" in a tweet that included a screenshot of Speed's comment. However, Desi fans were quick to point out the journalist's error, clarifying that Speed had, in fact, praised Kohli and not Babar in his comment.

The Backlash

Comments continued to pour in, with fans accusing the journalist of sensationalism and trying to create controversy for clicks and impressions. The incident, though humorous, underscores the fervour and passion that cricket fans from both India and Pakistan bring to the table, even on social media.
