Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, has explained why he wrote Virat Kohli a stern letter last year.

He was unable to even manage some respectable runs in T20 cricket.
Babar came to Twitter to encourage Kohli and stated, This too shall pass. Be persistent. Along with the post, he included a photo of the two of them. Kohli has also expressed gratitude in response to the support. Continue to shine and ascend. I hope the best for you.

He also claimed that he posted the tweet with the intention of boosting someone’s confidence.return to life. He continued by saying that athletes should support one another when things get tough.
