Pakistan’s white-ball series against West Indies at home will get underway with the opening T20I at National Stadium, Karachi on Monday (December 13).

On the eve of the match, skipper Babar Azam addressed a media conference, wherein he was asked an unexpected question regarding Virat Kohli.

While most of the questions revolved around the series, the query related to Kohli certainly took Babar by surprise.

The reporter asked: "Babar, there have been a lot of questions regarding the series. But there was a video which surfaced during the T20 World Cup, where you and Virat Kohli were spotted chatting. So what did you guys talk about? What did you tell him, or what did he tell you? He is going through a tough time since he has been removed as captain. What did you speak to him about during the World Cup?"

Pakistan team's media manager interrupted, saying: "I am sorry to cut you off. Actually, this is a PCB press conference. If you have any question regarding the West Indies series, only then go ahead."

The reporter then added: "But I don't think this is any controversial question. This is a simple and light question. What was the chat about between the two? I just want to ask about it. If Babar wants to, he can give the answer."

However, the Pakistan captain has an answer for the reporter, saying he won’t like to reveal the details about his conversation with Kohli.

"Of course, we had a discussion. But why would I reveal it in front of everyone?" Babar quipped.

Pakistan had registered a comprehensive 10-wicket victory over arch-rivals India in the T20 World Cup 2021 clash on October 24.

After the game, India skipper Virat Kohli showed great sportsmanship as he congratulated both the Pakistan openers. Kohli also hugged Mohammed Rizwan and later had a chat with his counterpart Babar.
