Former India captain Virat Kohli scored back-to-back half-centuries in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 matches. The batting maestro has been the leading run-scorer for India so far in the tournament which is a great sign for India ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The 33-year-old took a short break from cricket before the start of tournament and missed the West Indies and Zimbabwe tours.
Kohli scored a sublime 60-run knock against Pakistan in the Super 4 clash but India failed to register a win which put them in a tricky position in the multi-nation tournament where they will next face Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, after the Pakistan clash, Kohli attended the press conference and talked about the criticism he faced in recent times.

“When I left my Test captaincy, only Dhoni called me, nobody else did, even though many had my number," he said.
“There is a certain amount of respect and connection you have with someone and if it is genuine it shows. It also shows there is security in the relationship – if I want to suggest something to somebody, I will reach out to them personally and tell them what I think and what needs to be done, rather than publically going and speaking about it," he told media.
Kohli displayed a glimpse of his imperious form during his 60-run knock against Pakistan as he struck 4 fours and a six. The batting maestro reached his half-century with a magnificent six over deep-mid wicket off Mohammad Hasnain’s delivery and celebrated the feat with a kiss on the BCCI crest. The batting maverick focused on rotating strikes at regular intervals and running quick doubles. While Pakistan chased down the 182-run target with a ball to spare in a biting thriller as Kohli’s valiant effort went in vain.
