Virat Kohli to achieve a rare record in 1st game vs PAK, will become the only Indian to do so

India and Pakistan are all set to lock horns tomorrow on Sunday at Dubai International Stadium in the season opener of the Asia Cup 2022. Both teams are eager to start the tournament with a win. Thus, we are heading towards a blockbuster of a game.

This game will also see the return of the former Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, to the Indian team. Virat, who has been out for more than a month, will play in the mega-match against Pakistan. However, all eyes will be on him and how he performs.

The match between India and Pakistan is always a world-wide sight and this time as well, it will be an historic event for the former Indian skipper. Virat will achieve a rare feat as he steps onto the cricket field against Pakistan. Notably, this will be the 100th T20I match for Virat.

With this game, the former Indian skipper will become the first Indian to play 100 or more games in all three formats. In history, former New Zealand batter Ross Taylor achieved this milestone in February 2022, and Virat will be only the second player to do so.

But Virat is currently going through a lean patch and hasn't had the numbers to back it up. However, everyone is backing the 33-year-old to come back firing after a most-important break. Everyone is waiting for his century as he has gone past 1000 days without an international hundred.

He is expected to be back at his normal position of No. 3 and if the duo of Rohit and KL Rahul provides India a solid start, it can reduce some of the pressure on him. For Pakistan, they will be without their ace pacer, Shaheen Afridi, so that might be an area where Virat can capitalise.
