ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Virat Kohli, the batting maestro, boasts impressive statistics against Pakistan in World Cups, excelling in chases, death overs, and powerplays. India and Pakistan, due to political tensions, primarily engage in ICC tournaments. They will now clash in the 2023 ODI World Cup at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on October 14th.
Virat Kohli’s spectacular record against Pakistan
During the India vs. Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022 match in Melbourne, Virat Kohli delivered a match-defining performance, scoring an unbeaten 82 runs off just 53 balls, featuring 6 fours and 4 sixes. This innings also propelled him past Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene as the highest run-scorer in Men’s T20 World Cup history.
Kohli has consistently excelled against Pakistan in the last five World Cups (both T20 and ODI). In each of these encounters, he has scored over 50 runs, including a century. Given his remarkable track record, it appears likely that he will continue to dominate India’s arch-rivals in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup.
