Virat Kohli gave Babar Azam a pat in the back amid the much-anticipated India-Pakistan clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. A video of the same surfaced on social media as the netizens praised the sportsmanship of the two star batters, especially with both of them struggling for runs recently.
