In fact during the World T20 last year, Virat Kohli gifted Mohammad Amir his bat which earned a lot of praise.
Now, a gesture from Team India is winning hearts on the internet.

According to an image tweeted by a Pakistani journalist, Team India sent an autographed Virat Kohli jersey to the veteran Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi, after the latter announced his retirement.
Afridi retired in February. He first played for Pakistan in 1996 at the age of 16 and has had some great performances against India.
Needless to say, Twitter was not going to stay quiet as people always have something to say.
@faizanlakhani good to see that players of both nations respect each other.
