Asia Cup is around the corner and Virat Kohli will be looking to come out of the lean patch and set the stage on fire. Meanwhile let's have a look at Kohli's stroke-wise analysis ahead of all important tournament.
Tussles between India and Pakistan in cricket are always hotly contested affairs, and their 2022 Asia Cup fixture was no different at all.
After their performance vs Pakistan on Sunday, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya moved to second on the list of the most wickets in T20Is between the rivals. Here is the full list.
The former Pakistan bowler has picked up 11 wickets in six T20Is against India, but had a high economy rate of 8.27 against the team.
His four wickets on Sunday took him above Irfan Pathan to second on this list. His 4/26 is the best against Pakistan in five matches.
Third on this list, Pandya has bagged seven wickets in four matches against Pakistan. He has brilliant best figures of 3/8, coming in Mirpur in 2016.
With six wickets under his belt, Pathan, for a long time, was second on this list before the match on Sunday. He faced Pakistan three times in his career.
Mohammad Asif has scalped five wickets in just two matches against India, all five coming during the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in 2007. He bagged four wickets in the group D game and one in the final.
Seven bowlers have four wickets in matches between the two teams — Md. Amir, Md. Sami and Shahid Afridi for Pakistan; Ashok Dinda, Ravindra Jadeja, RP Singh, and Yuvraj Singh for India.
While both Bhuvi and Pandya can still overtake Umar Gul's 11 wickets, the likes of Shaheen Afridi (3), Arshdeep Singh (2) can still move up the ladder.
