Although much depends on luck, he is hungry for runs and will give his all against Pakistan.” Asghar Afghan said.
Former Afghanistan captain Asghar Afghan. Believes India’s star batter Virat Kohli will be back to his best against Pakistan in Group A of the Asia Cup 2022. Kohli’s form has been one of the talking points in the build-up to the multi-nation tournament. As the 33-year-old has not scored a century in international cricket in nearly three years. His numbers have fallen across formats, despite his contributions in sporadic games.
However, the upcoming Asia Cup will be his true test. As the competition for spots in the Indian team is fierce, and he will need to step up quickly. The right-hander missed the West Indies and Zimbabwe tours and last played for his country against England in July. He had little impact in that series across formats, failing to register a single half-century. All eyes will be on him now, with the entire country hoping for an inspiring performance from him.
