Virat Kohli’s response to Shakib Al Hasan’s challenge in World Cup Match
Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, and Virat Kohli, who has struggled against left-arm spin in the past, are one matchup that might immediately take center stage on Thursday.
According to Kohli, who acknowledged the value of maintaining his level of play, as stated by Star Sports:
“Over the years, I’ve played a lot against him. He’s got amazing control. He’s a very experienced bowler. He bowls very well with the new ball, knows how to deceive the batsman, and is also very economical.”
“You have to play your best against all these bowlers, and if you aren’t able to, these bowlers are able to create pressure and increase the chances of getting you out.”
Virat Kohli
In ODIs against Shakib Al Hasan, Virat Kohli has faced 148 balls and scored 140 runs, but he has also been dismissed five times.
