Salman Agha revealed text to Virat Kohli
Salman said, “I have so much respect for Virat Kohli, I don’t think there is any cricket fan in the world who doesn’t respect him. I texted him, I am not going to tell you the complete details but will just tell you the start. It started with ‘Virat Bhai.’ I texted him when he had a fight with Gautam Gambhir.”
He also clarified that there was nothing negative in his text to Virat Kohli. Salman Agha added, “I, Abdullah Shafique and Usama Mir were sitting together and watching a match, I think New Zealand were playing a series against Pakistan back then. There was nothing [negative] in that message that would make people think I said something bad.”
Virat Kohli visited the Pakistan dressing room and later that moment became viral on social media. Agha concluded, “I mistakenly told Shadab Khan about texting Virat. You have watched the video of me, Shadab and Virat standing together [during Asia Cup 2023], actually, at that time, he (Shadab) had told him (Virat) that I (Salman) texted him.”
