India’s young batting sensation Rinku Singh celebrated his 26th birthday on Thursday, October 12. Although many wishes poured in for Rinku on the special occasion, one that stood out was from Afghan fan girl Wazhma Ayoubi, who shared a photo alongside the India batter to extend birthday greetings.

Who is Wazhma Ayoubi?

Wazhma hails from Afghanistan and has often shown her love for India on many occasions, making quite a name for herself as an Afghanistan-India fangirl. She gained prominence during the Asia Cup 2022, where she was seen supporting Team India. Wazhma even backed the Indian side in the subsequent continental championship edition that took place in 2023.

Apart from this, Wazhma’s love for Indian cricket players also extends beyond the team as a whole. She has openly declared herself as a big fan of Virat Kohli, one of the world’s finest cricketers. A viral photo of Wazhma donning Kohli’s jersey further showcases her immense admiration for the Indian cricketing legend.
