After Pakistan captain Babar Azam's moving tweet in support of Virat Kohli, former England skipper Kevin Pietersen became the latest influential sporting star to give the Indian batting star his full support and backed him to come good again.

Pietersen lavished praise on Kohli's legendary career in the sport and claimed what he has achieved through the course of his career is something most people can only dream including some of the best to have played the sport at the highest level.

In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Pietersen wrote, "Buddy, your career has had some of the best that have played the game only wish they could have done what you have(so far). Be proud, walk tall & enjoy life. There’s way more than just the bubble of cricket out there. You’ll be back."

Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma, who is one of India's finest Bollywood actresses, were quick to take notice of the post and replied. The couple commented heart emojis and showed love to Pietersen for the backing during tough times.

Earlier in the day, Kohli also replied to Babar Azam's message of support for him. After India's 100-run defeat to England at Lord's on Thursday (July 14) in which the former Indian captain was dismissed for a low score of 16, Babar took to Twitter and wrote 'This too shall pass. Stay strong. '

On Saturday evening, Kohli acknowledged the post and took the internet by storm with an inspiring reply. 'Thank you. Keep shining and rising. Wish you all the best," he wrote.

Kohli has struggled for form in recent times and not scored a cenutry in international cricket in the post-COVID era. He will hope to end a horror tour of England on a positive note when the Men in Blue face the hosts in the ODI series decider in Manchester on Sunday (July 17).
