Virat Kohli's following base knows no borders, as evidenced by Pakistan cricket supporters cheering for his century against their own team during the high-stakes Champions Trophy match in Dubai on February 23.

Kohli's enormous popularity in Pakistan is well known, as it is in other cricket-loving countries throughout the world. The 36-year-old battter entered the headline match under duress, with doubts about his form.

Kohli, on the other hand, delivered once more in a match that has frequently called for his best. He scored his 51st ODI century, a calm 111-ball 100, to lead India to a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan.

While Pakistan fans were naturally dissatisfied by their team's difficulties, many chose to praise Kohli's performance. It was a moment that transcended rivalry and represented a great victory for cricket.

During a special screening of the match in Islamabad, numerous Pakistan fans were seen celebrating as Kohli completed his match-defining century.
