[Watch] “See You In The Finals, Hopefully” – Pakistan Fan Momin Saqib Meets Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya Post Asia Cup 2022 Match

Pakistan fan Momin Saqib met and interacted with Team India cricketers Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya on Sunday, post-India’s match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. He congratulated the players on winning their opening clash of the 2022 Asia Cup. Team India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling encounter.

Earlier in the match, Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first. His bowlers made the most of the opportunity to take early wickets and push Pakistan on the back foot. They eventually bowled Pakistan out for 147 runs. On the back of Hardik Pandya’s brilliant innings, India chased down the target in the final over.

Post India’s win, Saqib met the Indian team players. He rose to fame with his viral “Mujhe Maaro” meme after Pakistan’s loss against India at the 2019 ICC World Cup. Saqib shared videos on his social media handles with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. In one of the videos, Saqib congratulates Virat Kohli and later admits that he is sad about the loss. However, he goes on to add,

“See you in the finals, hopefully.”

A great sportsman and a humble personality. The one and only @imVkohli 🙌🏻 Good to see him back in form!

What a game tonight! 🔥

Shall see you in the Final! 🏏#AsiaCup2022 #MominSaqib #ViratKohli #Kohli #INDvsPAK2022 #PakvInd #Dubai #UAE @DubaiStadium @ICCAcademy pic.twitter.com/gx8dDalHdv

“Bhai tera chakka nahi bhulay ga!” – Momin Saqib meets Hardik Pandya

Pakistan fan Momin Saqib shared another video featuring Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who won the Player of the Match for his all-round brilliance. He took 3/25 in the match in the first innings and then played a crucial knock while chasing 148 runs. Hardik Pandya smacked a six in the last over when India needed 6 off the last three to seal the deal for his team.

Meeting Hardik Pandya, Momin Saqib expressed that he will not forget the final over six. He said, “Bhai tera chakka nahi bhulay ga! (Brother, will not forget your six).”

Good neck-to-neck game. Despite being young & with raw talent, our bowlers did an amazing job👏🏼 But you batted well to take the match away from us 🏏@hardikpandya7 Bhai tera chakka nahi bhulay ga! #AsiaCup2022 #MominSaqib #HardikPandya #INDvsPAK2022 #PAKvIND #INDvPAK #Dubai pic.twitter.com/Np8iSmslfW
