The India-Pakistan rivalry is touching new heights and vintage Kohli is driving the fans crazy. As the arch-rivals have taken the field, the Dubai spectators are enjoying a thrilling showdown.

After several lean patches in previous matches, Kohli is seen in his classic form, dominating the Pakistani bowlers. As he is accelerating India’s inning towards the win, former Pakistan batter Ramiz Raja couldn’t help to praise the former Indian captain.

Ramiz Raja Hails Kohli’s Greatness

Pakistan and Virat Kohli’s love story is not new as the Indian great has never seen marcying Pakistani bowlers over the years. After Rohit Sharma’s dismissal, Kohli built a solid stand with Shubman Gill before accelerating India’s innings alongside Shreyas Iyer. Blending power-hitting with smart singles, he crafted a masterful knock. As he is showcasing brilliance on the field, Ramiz Raja showered praises over Kohli.

“You look at Virat Kohli and you know why he’s such a great player. It’s the big shots followed by a single followed by reading the situation, rising to the situation. He’s not cocky or selfish either. He does what’s best for the team.” Raza said.


“Playing Pakistan is all about controlling your nerves and he does it perfectly. It takes another kind of mental high to successfully chase like he does.” Raza added.

Kohli Crosses 14,000 Runs Milestone In ODI

Keeping Kohli away from records seems like an impossible task for the bowlers. After several struggles, Virat Kohli lit up the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in his old vintage style. After Rohit Sharma’s early dismissal, Kohli took the field with Gill and made an impactful partnership.

With Virat Kohli on the field, records are bound to tumble. As he is playing his 299th match, he surpassed the 14,000 run mark in just 287 innings and surpassed cricket greats like Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. As the Kohli-Iyer duo is on the field, Team India is just 28 runs away from the win.
