A lot of eyes will be on the former Indian captain when he takes the field during his team’s clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday, August 28. The match will be the batter’s 100th T20I and also his first international game since the tour of England in July.
Although the 33-year-old has failed to live up to expectations in recent times, Harbhajan is confident that the star cricketer will rediscover his form. Speaking to Sports Tak, he asserted:
Sharing his thoughts on Kohli’s struggles, former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi advised him to stick to his naturally aggressive game. He stated:
In 99 T20Is so far, Kohli has scored 3308 runs at an average of 50.12 and a strike rate of 137.66.

Unlike previous India-Pakistan encounters, the build-up to Sunday’s match has been rather tranquil, with players from both sides having friendly interactions.
Asked if there is less pressure in the Asia Cup match, Harbhajan explained:
India and Pakistan have been placed in Group A for the Asia Cup 2022. Hong Kong have joined them as the third team. In all probability, irrespective of Sunday’s result, the arch-rivals are set to clash again in the Super 4 stage of the continental competition.
