The teams have arrived in Dubai for the 2022 Asia Cup and had their first respective training sessions at the ICC Cricket Academy.

Pakistan and Afghanistan took part in the practice session in the evening, while India trained at night. But, the thing which took the attention of all the cricket lovers was Pakistan captain Babar Azam meeting former Indian captain Virat Kohli.

In a video uploaded by BCCI, the likes of Hardik Pandya, and Yuzvendra Chahal could be seen chatting with the likes of Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi but netizens were most cherished by greetings between Babar and Kohli.
