Asia Cup 2023: India vs Pakistan - 5 player battles to watch out for
With the return of the greatest rivalry on September 10, eyes will be set on some top-notch player battles.
2. Virat Kohli vs Haris Rauf
Haris Rauf was full of energy against India in the group match. In his nine-over spell, he grabbed figures of 3-58. Ahead of the game, fans were expecting a top-notch clash between Rauf and Virat Kohli, who smacked the Pakistan pacer for a couple of sixes in the 2022 T20 World Cup and changed the course of the game.
In January 2023, Rauf participated in a talk show in his country and discussed his hammering at the hands of the India batting maestro at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The speedster praised Kohli’s efforts against him but added that Virat won’t be able to play that shot again as those kinds of shots are rarely played in this sport.
Rauf didn’t get a chance to meet Kohli as the veteran India batter lost his wicket on four to Shaheen Shah Afridi in the seventh over of the match. In the Super Four game, fans would want to witness the fierce encounter between the India legend and the aggressive Pakistan paceman.
