Virat Kohli’s magnificent innings against South Africa in the 2nd T20 on Wednesday heaped unending praises. His 72-run knock not only cruised India to a 7-wicket win but also made him the leading run-getter in T20Is.

Amid these praises, former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi lauded the performance of Indian skipper and has urged him to keep entertaining the fans across the world.

“Congratulations Virat Kohli. You are a great player indeed, wish you continued success, keep entertaining cricket fans all around the world,” Afridi tweeted.
