Despite the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan, Kohli and Shadab have shared friendly moments during the Asia Cup and the ICC tournaments and made the headlines. Earlier, Sanat Sangwan recalls how Virat Kohli inspired him during their memorable Ranji Trophy game.
Shadab shared on the show: “When I played against Virat for the first time, he surprised me because the way we see him on TV is completely different from how he is in person. He asked me if I spoke Punjabi, and I said yes. Since then, he has started speaking Punjabi with me. Now, whenever we meet, he just talks to me in Punjabi.”

He asked me if I spoke Punjabi, and I said yes. Since then, he has started speaking Punjabi with me. Now, whenever we meet, he just talks to me in Punjabi. He was already a legend of the game at that time, so the way he spoke to me really surprised me. I had seen his aggression and everything on the field, but when I met him in person, he was completely different."

Rohit has scored two centuries and 92 runs in his last five innings, while Kohli has hit one century and two fifties. Given their form and fitness, Robin said their experience and current form could play a big role in India's ICC ODI World Cup 2026 campaign.
Robin Singh was quoted as saying by IANS, "I think experience is one thing. But more importantly, I think it's their form that is important. And of course, with age comes plenty of experience. So that's really not a problem. They know what to do. It's more about staying in the moment, staying fit, and continuing to play well. I think they are doing that exceptionally well. So, there are no complaints. They definitely will be a big asset to the Indian team.”
