In a press conference ahead of Pakistan's Test series against Sri Lanka in Galle, Babar had opened up on why he tweeted in support of Kohli. 

"As a player myself, I know you can go through such a phase (out of form) and I also know what a player goes through in such a phase. In those times, you need support. I just tweeted thinking that it will give just some support. He is one of the best players," Babar said during a press conference.

"He is playing a lot of cricket and he knows how to come out of these situations. It takes time, if you back players, it will be really good," he added.
