November 23, 2019 is the date from which Virat Kohli has not scored a century with the bat. However, it is also worth noting that due to Corona, cricket became insignificant for almost a year. There is a discussion about Virat’s form throughout the cricket world at the moment.
Talking about the current year, Virat has played only 4 T20 matches this year and has scored only 81 runs, an average of 20.52, which is very modest for a cricketer of Virat’s ability. At the same time, Virat took a break after the recent series against England and was not part of the squad in the ODI and T20 series against the West Indies.
Now Virat will return to international cricket for the Asia Cup. The Asian Cup will be played from August 27. The India team’s first match will be against their arch-rivals Pakistan. Good thing Virat’s bat roars a lot against Pakistan, in the series against West Indies the name may have given him the name of rest, but this rest must have put more pressure on Virat’s mind to perform.
August 28, this is the important date for all the cricket fans, on this day the India team will start their campaign in the Asian Cup and Pakistan will be in the lead. From 2012 to 2021, Kohli scored 311 runs in 7 T20 matches against Pakistan at an impressive average of 77.75. Virat has scored 3 half centuries against Pakistan and the best score has been an unbeaten 78.
Even in ODI, Virat’s best score against Pakistan turned out to be 183 runs. The interesting thing is that Virat has achieved the highest score of his career in ODI in the Asian Cup against Pakistan. The year was 2011 and Virat was a young batsman trying to break into the India team at the time. In Mirpur, Bangladesh, Pakistan batted first and had a mountain of 329 runs. Virat then played a massive innings of 183 runs on just 148 balls. With 22 fours and 1 six. The India team won the match by 6 wickets.
Speaking of the Asia T20 format, Virat Kohli has now played only 4 innings but in this he has scored 153 runs at an average of 76.50. His 56-run inning has been his best. Even in the Asian Cup ODI format, King Kohli’s magic hasn’t stopped. In the 10 innings played at the ODI Asian Cup, Virat has scored 613 runs, averaging 61.30.
Virat is a batsman who is born only once in a century. In England, even when the runs didn’t come off Virat’s bat, he wasn’t seen out of touch. During this he also made some great shots, now the hope is that after getting some rest, Virat will come back refreshed and play such a good tackle against Pakistan that it will not only wash away the bad form from him but also the upcoming T20 World Cup. World Cup, the Indian team will also be a strong contender for victory.
