Virat Kohli record against Pakistan: The former Indian captain will be playing his 10th match against Pakistan tonight.
Especially after returning to form during Asia Cup 2022, former India captain Virat Kohli will have millions of eyes on him waiting in anticipation of an impact-generating innings in the imminent ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 match against Pakistan in Melbourne.
Part of all three India-Pakistan T20Is at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the last 12 months, Kohli has done well against this opposition in the recent past (much like the distant past as well).
However, with him batting in a manner in which he is known for of late, expectations will be exceedingly high out of him. Kohli, 33, averages and strikes at 45.50 and 141.63 respectively in his last 10 T20I innings and there is no reason why his bountiful fans shouldn’t expect him to stand tall on his potential tonight.
