Virat Kohli scripts history during IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2023 clash
Virat Kohli, with an impressive 122 not out, and K L Rahul, equally formidable with his unbeaten 111, powered India to a commanding total of 356/2. Iftikhar Ahmed, although a part-time spinner, struggled on the bowling front, conceding 52 runs in 5.4 overs. He ended up as the second most expensive bowler for Pakistan, following Shaheen Shah Afridi, who gave away 79 runs in his 10-over spell.
In response, Pakistan's innings folded at 128 runs in just 32 overs. Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah did not bat in the innings due to injury concerns. Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the standout bowler for India, clinching a five-wicket haul.
