In addition to the fact that this will be Virat’s one hundredth Twenty20 International match, he will also make history by being the first player in the annals of cricket to play one hundred matches for India across all formats of the game.
On Sunday, India will face Pakistan in a high-stakes matchup for the Asia Cup. The Indian team is prepared for the match. Due to the intense competition that exists between the two teams, this match is sure to, once again, be the focal point of all of the attention that is paid to cricket.
Apart from this, another highlight of the match will be the return of the star batter for India, Virat Kohli. Kohli will be playing his one hundredth Twenty20 International match, and he will also become the first player in the history of the game to play one hundred matches for India across all formats of the game. Other than this, the match will also feature a number of other highlights. This year, Virat’s form has been a huge cause for concern due to the fact that he is going through a dry spell. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, on the other hand, is optimistic that Virat “will rise again.”
“Being able to lead your team is a significant accomplishment for any player. Virat Kohli has amassed a large number of runs, but in the recent past, the strain could be seen written all over his face.
Because he hasn’t scored any centuries and because the captaincy has been taken away from him, the pressure isn’t quite as intense as it was before. Additionally, he gives off the impression of being quite calm. When we met, he merely asked me to walk his squad through “explained Harbhajan in a video that was published on the channel that Sports Tak maintains on YouTube.
“Always following the same patterns, he works out at the gym for one to two hours before heading to practice. When discussing major players, you will find that each and every one of them has had periods of struggle throughout their careers. There is no question in my mind that Virat Kohli will achieve success once more “he continued.
Speaking about the same topic, the former captain of Pakistan’s cricket team, Shahid Afridi, heaped praise on Virat while also stating that he must pull himself out of the rough patch on his own.
“Because he has consistently played aggressive cricket, Virat Kohli has been one of my favourite players from the beginning. Because he has always played cricket in a positive manner and because there were big expectations of him, when a rough period arrives, you have to pull yourself out of it on your own “explained Afridi.
“Therefore, you shouldn’t be afraid to play to your strengths, whatever they may be. If you stay away from it, the rough patch will last for a significantly longer time. Virat needs to pull himself out of this rough period on his own because of his prominence “he continued.
Virat Kohli has played for Team India in a total of 99 Twenty20 Internationals, during which he has scored 3,308 runs at an average of 50.12 runs per game. His individual best score for India in this format is 94, and he has 30 half-centuries to his name in this format.
