Pakistan captain Babar Azam has come out in support of Virat Kohli, whose lean patch with the bat has extended for more than two years, saying this phase would pass and he would come out stronger.

Taking to Twitter, Babar wrote while sharing a picture of him alongside Kohli "This too shall pass. Stay strong."

The right-handed batter has played 77 consecutive international innings without reaching three figures, after scores of 1 and 11 in the T20I series against England and failures in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston.
