“Let’s Talk About Virat Kohli”: Mohammad Rizwan’s Unexpected Praise Stuns All
Kohli, who had been under scrutiny for his recent form, silenced critics with a match-winning unbeaten 100 off 111 balls, decorated with seven boundaries. His remarkable innings also saw him become the fastest player to reach 14,000 ODI runs, adding another milestone to his illustrious career.
Rizwan couldn’t hold back his admiration for Kohli’s resilience and fitness, especially at 36 years old. “First, let’s talk about Virat Kohli. I am surprised at his hard work. The world said he was out of form, but in such a big match, he comes in and effortlessly scores runs against us. We tried everything to get him out, but he took the game away,” Rizwan admitted.
While acknowledging Pakistan’s shortcomings, Rizwan was blunt in his assessment, stating that the team struggled in all three departments—batting, bowling, and fielding. However, he singled out Abrar Ahmed’s bowling as a rare positive in an otherwise disappointing performance.
With back-to-back defeats, Pakistan’s title defense now hinges on Bangladesh. If Bangladesh manages to defeat New Zealand in Rawalpindi, Pakistan will have a chance to stay in the tournament. Otherwise, their hopes will come to an end.
