Harbhajan Singh emphasized the immense popularity of Indian cricketers in Pakistan, particularly Virat Kohli, who is admired by fans across the border.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan shared how the people of Pakistan hold Indian players in high regard and cherish the idea of seeing them play on their home soil.
“If the conditions are good, then who would not want to go to Pakistan? We got a lot of love there. When we went to play there, the people gave a lot of love to the Indian team. Even today, there are a lot of fans in Pakistan of Virat Kohli and this Indian team and they want to see them play,” Harbhajan said.

The primary obstacle, as Harbhajan pointed out, remains the political and diplomatic tensions between the two nations. He highlighted the security concerns and strained relations that have kept bilateral series off the table.
He also expressed optimism that if relations between the two nations were to improve, India could once again tour Pakistan.
