Ali, who went to Sri Lanka to watch the two rain-affected India-Pakistan matches, said that despite Virat’s excellent record against Pakistan, he still respects the former Indian captain. Kohli has scored 662 runs in 15 ODI matches against Pakistan at an average of 55.17. This includes three centuries and two half-centuries. Apart from this, he has scored 488 runs at an average of 81.33 in 10 T20 matches against the arch rival. This includes five half-centuries. Virat’s best score (183 runs) in ODI also came against Pakistan (in 2012).

Virat’s bat always works against Pakistan
This is nothing new when Virat’s bat has been in action especially in the match against Pakistan. Even before this, he has scored a lot of runs against India’s arch rival many times. Who can forget his match-winning innings against Pakistan in Melbourne last year in the T20 World Cup. However, despite all these innings, Virat is very popular in Pakistan. He is one of the most favorite cricketers there.
