A Pakistani cricket fan who received huge online fame during the Asia Cup 2023 has returned for the highly anticipated T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan. This fan went viral after declaring her devotion to Virat Kohli, even over her own team's skipper, Babar Azam.

Aside from her fanatical cricket love, sources claim her real name is Fiza Khan, and her professional endeavours include creating content for an Abu Dhabi mall, most likely to promote products and special offers.
This multifaceted woman has progressed beyond the boundaries of a viral TikTok personality, establishing herself as a fashion model and blogger while also cementing her social media presence.
In each post, she has expressed her unwavering love and support for Virat Kohli. During the Asia Cup 2023, she was heard saying, "I support both Pakistan and India, both together," while pointing to her painted cheeks to demonstrate her dual support.
Despite her Pakistani identity, her cricket allegiance is with Virat Kohli. When asked to select between her own team's captain, Babar Azam, and Kohli, her answer was clear.
How did people on the internet react?
She warmly praised Kohli, saying, "He is my favourite player; I specifically came here to watch him play and witness a century from him." Her displeasure was palpable when the match was cancelled due to rain.
One commenter praised her commitment, calling her "wife material," and another acknowledged Mr Kohli's global significance, saying, "He is a global icon." A third user said, "Cameraman, focus karo!"
Another Pakistani fan mocked her loyalties, claiming she favoured Kohli over the entire Indian team. Undaunted, she responded with a smile, using a well-known proverb: "There's nothing wrong with appreciating your neighbours' talents." Check the viral post here.
