Asia Cup 2022: 'Maaro mujhe' meme fame Momin Saqib meets Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya after India-Pakistan clash
Saqib shared the video of his interaction with the two cricketers on his official Instagram account.
India came out victorious against Pakistan in their tournament opener of the 2022 T20 Asia Cup, played at the Dubai International Stadium on August 28 (Sunday). Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya played crucial roles in their team’s victory as the Men in Blue secured a five-wicket victory over their arch-rivals.
After the match, both Kohli and Pandya met Momin Saqib, the ‘Maaro Mujhe’ meme fame. Momin grabbed the limelight after one of his videos after Pakistan’s loss in the 2019 World Cup against India went viral on social media. The influencer congratulated both players for their excellent performance.
