Shaheen Shah Afridi and Virat Kohli went viral on Friday morning after a video in which they meet each other. The Pakistani ace pacer is not part of Pakistan squad in Asia Cup 2022 and won't be taking part in the much-awaited India vs Pakistan clash that is to be played on Friday (August 28) at Dubai International Stadium. Both the teams have begun training for the big game at ICC Academy in Dubai, UAE. On the sidelines, the players from all countries participating in Asia Cup have been meeting and greeting each other. A day ago, the video and pictures of Kohli meeting Pakistan captain Babar Azam had gone viral. 

When Shaheen met Kohli, the video melted the fans on both the sides of the border. In the video released by Pakistan Cricket, it was difficult to hear what Kohli and Shaheen chatted about. Pakistan Cricket later released another video in which they released the audio of the video in which he could be heard telling Kohli: "Aapke lie dua kar rahe hai aap wapis form me aaye (We are praying that your form comes back)."

Watch the video here: 

Shaheen has been ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 due to a knee injury. He will also stay out of action during the home series against England as well, which will start from September 20 onwards, but will return to action during the New Zealand Tri-Series in October, which will be followed by the ICC Men`s T20 World Cup, Australia 2022. Shaheen had suffered a right knee ligament injury while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.

On the other hand, Kohli will make his return to cricket after a short break, which saw him miss the tour of the West Indies during the Asia Cup 2022. His first match on comeback will be against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28. Fans will hope that Kohli regains his form during the tournament and hopefully hits his much-anticipated 71st international ton soon and raises his bat and helmet while roaring his lungs out to the delight of his fans.
