A Pakistani X account shared an edited image of Kohli signing Pakistani jersey.
Kohli last played for India in the Champions Trophy 2025 in March in Dubai, where he scored a century against Pakistan and 84 against Australia in the semi-final. Since then, Kohli has moved to London with his family after winning the IPL 2025 with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Meanwhile, an X account shared a photo showing Kohli signing a Pakistani team jersey with the caption "Virat Kohli spotted giving autographs to a Pakistani fan in Perth, Australia."
However, multiple accounts on X debunked this post, sharing the original video in which Kohli is seen signing an RCB jersey for a fan.
In the original video, Kohli exits the hotel, puts on his cricket uniform in the team bus, and approaches a fan holding a Royal Challengers Bengaluru jersey for him to sign. The ex-RCB captain then signs the jersey before continuing to sign more similar jerseys.

As per ESPNCricinfo, Kohli batted in nets for 40 minutes and mostly faced back-of-a-length bowling from Rana, Arshdeep, and several local bowlers. There were a few uncomfortable moments, but Kohli appeared to be at ease as he prepared for a likely lively surface in an ODI game slated to be played in moist weather, a stark contrast to the sunshine that greeted India in Perth. Kohli's agility impressed as he attempted to get inside the ball's line, with Rana, in particular, bowling with zip.
