'Karan-Arjun'- Social media in shock over identical Virat Kohli, Babar Azam childhood pics

India's Virat Kohli and Pakistani skipper Babar Azam share an amicable relationship off the field, with the stylish pair complementing each other from time to time. But a recent picture on social media has made the netizens ponder over the duo's relationship. The picture in question is from Kohli and Babar's childhood, who look identical to each other, donning similar clothing.

Virat Kohli and Babar Azam were seen having a friendly chat before their clash in the recently concluded Asia Cup. The duo has made no secret of their admiration for each other and have been seen involved in friendly chats on several instances. Babar Azam had even shown his support for the Indian ace during his lean patch leading up to the Asia Cup.

The batting superstars often find themselves in the news for their heroics with the bat, but they are doing the rounds on social media after childhood pictures went viral. The picture in question features the Pakistani skipper and the former Indian skipper side by side, looking almost inseparable from each other in similar tops.

Both Kohli and Babar are in action on Wednesday, as the former will be up against a visiting Protean side, while the Pakistani skipper will be up against England in the fifth T20I in Lahore. The India batting stalwart, who endured a miserable lean run with the bat for the past couple of years, has hit top gear since his glorious Asia Cup campaign. Kohli registered a fabulous maiden ton in his side's final game against Afghanistan to end his century drought.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani skipper had a turbulent time in his side's run to the final of the continental tournament but silenced his critics with a glittering century in the ongoing series against England. The duo will come face to face once again at the MCG in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia on the 23rd of October.
