Pakistan Bowlers Will Be Under Pressure Against Virat Kohli: Mohammad Kaif

While speaking to Star Sports, cricketer-turned-commentator Mohammad Kaif spoke about the India vs Pakistan match. He said that the pressure will always be on Pakistan bowlers when they face Virat Kohli.

“The form that he had in that World Cup was because of his performances in the Asia Cup (2022), starting from that century he hit against Afghanistan. He had a dry run before that, but after his performances in the Asia Cup, he did not stop, he won matches, even the match against Pakistan in Australia. Those memories will still linger in the minds of the Pakistani bowlers,” he continued.

“They will be wary of Kohli and know what a big wicket he is. They will know that if they get him out, the match becomes a lot easier. But the form he is in, the pressure will always be on the bowlers,” Kaif said.

Kaif also feels that Pakistan bowlers will be under pressure against Virat Kohli because the Indian batter slammed them for a lot of runs in the previous encounter in T20 World Cup 2022.

“And the fact that he has played the Pakistani bowlers in their last match at the T20 World Cup, he will know how every Pakistani bowler bowls, whether it is Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, or Haris Rauf.

Kohli will know how to play them, he will know what their strengths and weaknesses are. Virat Kohli will be very dangerous against Pakistan,” Mohammad Kaif further added.
