India vs Pakistan: Virat Kohli's 'Unfinished Business" Is "Big Danger" For Rivals: World Cup-Winning Star

Virat Kohli knows the cameras will be on him for the next two months. Starting with the Asia Cup and then the Cricket World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli will be expected to deliver. His first test will be in the India vs Pakistan contest in Sri Lanka on Saturday. Virat Kohli has performed well against Pakistan. His cracking six off Haris Rauf at the MCG is still talked about a lot in cricket circles. Australia's World Cup-winning spinner Brad Hogg is among the admirers of that shot. Hogg said that Kohli's hunger should be a cause of concern for the rivals. "I was looking at Virat Kohli's stats the other day. Tendulkar got a slightly better conversion rate of 100s. Virat Kohli's got a better record. I just think he has got his hunger back and a little bit of pressure taken off him. I think he's got unfinished business and that's probably the big danger for opposition teams. That innings against Pakistan here at the MCG, hitting Haris Rauf back over his head of good length. That was the best shot that I have ever seen in cricket. It was brilliant. Fans got to realize that there is a lot of pressure on Virat Kohli. He also can have ups and downs even the great Sachin Tendulkar had ups and downs. When he has got that right frame of mind and has that pressure off his back we see a dominant Virat Kohli. I am not worried about the Indian batting. I am probably worried about the Indian bowling attack. It is their bowling which doesn't get them off to a good start," he said on Backstage with Boria.
