The 28-year-old has a brilliant record against Pakistan, scoring his highest individual score of 183 during the 2012 Asia Cup ODI format. He once again smashed an impressive 107 during the 2015 World Cup in Adelaide helping India achieve a perfect record in the tournament.
Cricket is about being united and that is exactly what Kohli managed to do with his tweet.
