While some people were left touched and praised the man, others cracked hilarious jokes on India and Pakistan’s enmity on the field during cricket matches.
A Pakistani fan wrote: "Hum tou Abhinandan ko bhi chai pilaatay hain, Kohli tou phir humaaray dilon mai rehta hai. Tum saala gora loag humaari jooti ke neechay. (We even offer tea to Indian Air Force's wing-commander Abhinandan and Kohli (Virat) rules our heart)
"Definitely backing India for two reasons: 1 – they're neighbours, 2- they're passionate about cricket," another fan wrote. Another netizen drew reference to the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the rule of the British East India Company saying, "1857 ki jang -- Azadi hum ne mil kar angrezoo kay khilaf lari thi. (We fought the 1857 revolt against the Britishers together)
