Several fans took the opportunity to applaud Kohli, with one saying, “A special player. Always want to finish the game without leaving it to others.” Another fan commented, “Virat reserved his best against Pakistan. That’s why he is our favourite.. V love u Virat & will continue to..whatever world says!”

“What a moment! That’s like the universe aligning in your favor! A match-winning stroke and a century, all in one swing! Truly, a “chosen one” moment! Congratulations to the lucky player!” a third fan reacted.

India’s bowlers restricted Pakistan to 241 all out. Saud Shakeel was the top scorer for Pakistan, making 62 runs off 76 balls, while captain Mohammad Rizwan contributed 46 from 77 balls. The duo put together a 104-run partnership for the third wicket.

On Sunday, the Indian cricket team arrived at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium just 35 minutes before the toss for their high-voltage clash against Pakistan, after getting caught in Dubai’s heavy traffic. Both teams’ buses were delayed, but it was Pakistan’s bus that managed to reach the stadium first. The Indian team arrived with only 35 minutes remaining before the toss. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first.
