Pakistan's veteran all-rounder and former skipper Shahid Afridi has finally reacted to Indian star batter Virat Kohli's remarks on playing in Pakistan. "I expected such a statement from Virat. I welcome Kohli, whether he comes to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) or with the Indian team," Afridi said while speaking during a tape ball event in Karachi on Saturday. Afridi's comments refer to Kohli's remarks, while speaking to Pakistani mountaineer Shehroze Kashif, wherein he said that he hopes to visit Pakistan "soon".
