Virat Kohli vs Usman Qadir
The upcoming Asia Cup 2022 is a huge tournament for Virat Kohli. With the former skipper struggling with his form, several reports have suggested that his chances of playing in this year’s T20 World Cup will depend a lot on how he performs in Asia Cup. A poor outing might seal his fate. In such a scenario, the former world number one T20I batsman would be keen to start his campaign on a good note.
Kohli has a very good track record against Pakistan. He has played 7 T20Is against the arch rivals so far, scoring 311 runs with a highest score of 78* at a stunning average of 77.75 and a strike rate of 118.25, with 3 half-centuries. Kohli would be hoping that his good run against Pakistan continues.
And one of the biggest hurdles that he is likely to face in the game is leg-spinner Usman Qadir, son of the legendary Abdul Qadir. With form not on his side, Kohli could be troubled by the highly-rated spinner. Qadir has not played any match against India so far and would be keen to impress in the upcoming India vs Pakistan clash. So far, he has taken 24 wickets from 18 T20Is with a best of 4/13.
