Another said, "Yes, Kohli played brilliantly, and he has a huge fan following in Pakistan. Cricket is a sport that connects fans from both countries, and if the Indian team had played in Lahore, the atmosphere would have been incredible.

The star indian batter became the first player in history to score over 400 runs against Pakistan in ICC ODI events, surpassing Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar, who had scored 370 and 321 runs, respectively.

With his century in the Champions Trophy, Kohli has now achieved hundreds against Pakistan in three different multi-national tournaments featuring five or more teams. He had previously scored centuries in the 2015 ODI World Cup and the Asia Cup in 2012 and 2023, making him the first player ever to record three centuries against the same opponent in three different multi-team events. For his outstanding performance, Kohli was awarded the Player of the Match (POTM), marking his fifth POTM award against Pakistan in ICC events—no other player has more than three such awards against a single team in ICC competitions.
