Indian media presents the matches played between Pakistan and India as a war
The immense reception received by Virat Kohli from Pakistani fans in the Pak-India match of the Champions Trophy 2025 has surprised and disturbed the Indian media, which always spews venom against Pakistan.
In the match played between Pakistan and India in Dubai yesterday, Virat Kohli led the Indian team to victory with his brilliant century, but the interesting thing was that Pakistani fans also appreciated Kohli’s performance very much.
This scenario has come as a surprise to the Indian media, which often presents the matches played between Pakistan and India as a war. But Pakistanis have once again proven that they value the talents of players on the field of play, no matter what country they belong to.
Virat Kohli, who is considered the biggest star of Indian cricket, led India to victory through his batting. His century not only delighted Indian fans but Pakistani fans too could not stop praising his performance. Seeing this scene, the Indian media was forced to reconsider its reporting, which usually tries to create an atmosphere of hatred between the two countries.
The Hindustan Times, quoting Pakistani newspapers in its report, wrote that the Pakistani media has also highly appreciated Kohli’s performance. The Hindustan Times, quoting a Pakistani English newspaper, said that the newspaper wrote in its headline that the kind of game Kohli showed, made India win over Pakistan easily. The newspaper also made it clear that the fact that Pakistan did not give a challenging target made it easier for India to win.
In another article, while paying tribute to Kohli, it was said that no player has made as much impact in the history of Pak-India cricket as Kohli has. Even legendary Pakistani players like Wasim Akram and Imran Khan did not make as much of an impact as Kohli in the Pakistan-India match.
Another media outlet praised Kohli’s brilliant performance and wrote that Pakistan lost to India in the high-stakes Champions Trophy match. The report also mentioned Kohli’s record-breaking innings, which played a major role in India’s success.
Citing the Express Tribune news, Hindustan Times wrote that the newspaper focused on the result of the match and wrote that India outclassed Pakistan and the defending champions were in danger of being eliminated from the tournament.
These reports by the Indian media show that they are unaware of the thinking of the Pakistani people and media. Pakistani fans and media look at the game from the perspective of the game and value the abilities of the players. This is why Pakistani fans also paid tribute to Indian player Virat Kohli.
