The young Indian Test captain, who has a massive following in social media, interacts frequently with his fans and his posts are not necessarily on cricket.<br \/>\nKohli&#8217;s popularity cuts across borders. There have been cases when fans in Pakistan have courted trouble for openly showing their appreciation for the Indian Test captain.<br \/>\nThere is an addition to Kohli&#8217;s list of fans from Pakistan. It is ICC Elite Panel umpire Aleem Dar&#8217;s son, Hasan. One of the most respected international umpires in the world, Dar is standing in the India versus West Indies Test series. The second match starts in Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday.<br \/>\nKohli has invited Hasan to meet him on a tour where dad &#8216;Aleembhai&#8217; will be officiating. Kohli has promised Hasan a signed cricket bat, a priceless gift from one of the best batsmen of his generation.<br \/>\nDuring the World T20 match against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, Kohli had made a similar gesture when he gifted his bat to Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir.<br \/>\nFrom wishing Harbhajan Singh and his actress wife Geeta Basra on becoming parents to remembering the heroes of Kargil War, Kohli hardly misses an occasion to wield his Twitter handle just the way he would play his cover drive. On hard and long tours, like the one in the Caribbean, Kohli has found interesting ways to unwind and keep in touch with his burgeoning list of fans across the world. Kohli is truly becoming a global ambassador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi:Virat Kohli has used social media just the way he plays his majestic strokes all around the park.
