[Saba Sports News] I In the world of social media, Wazhma Ayoubi is a prominent figure known for her unwavering passion for cricket. Originally from Afghanistan but now residing in Dubai, she supports both her Afghan roots and Team India.
She recently shared a photo on Twitter wearing a Team India jersey with a unique twist—it was the same jersey worn by Virat Kohli during the 2022 Asia Cup match against Afghanistan. This historic match saw Kohli achieve his maiden T20I century after a three-year century drought. In an incredible stroke of luck, Wazhma received this priceless jersey as a gift from Kohli himself, complete with his signature.

She wrote on her ‘X’ handle, ‘The jersey I am wearing to support my favorite team is the one worn by king Virat Kohli himself in the #AsiaCup22, at the #INDvAFG match. It is also signed by him. I will change it when I get a new one signed by the GOAT himself. #AsiaCup23 #INDvSL #AsiaCup23Final.’
Wazhma’s support for Team India comes at an exciting time, as they progress to the 2023 Asia Cup final following impressive victories over arch-rivals Pakistan and hosts Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage. Her social media post created quite a buzz just before the India vs. Bangladesh showdown in Colombo.
Notably, Wazhma also gained attention during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match at Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens, where she was impressed by the batting performance of young sensation Rinku Singh.
