Viral Kohli Got a New Challenge From Mickey Arthur, Pakistan Cricket Coach
Last week, Kohli achieved his 33rd ODI century against South Africa. The
stylish right-hander has now scored a century in all the nine countries
(full-members) where he had played. Mickey Arthur, the head coach of the
Pakistan cricket team's remark on India captain Virat Kohli's batting has mixed
a new debate in his cricketing circles. Kohli has been a sensational icon
throughout the last season. However, Arthur believes the 29-year-old will find
hard to score runs against Pakistan. "Kohli is a fantastic player but our
team will make it hard for him to score a century in Pakistan. It’s been a
great pleasure to watch Kohli scoring against all teams. It is always enjoyable
to watch his batting. However, our bowlers will not make it easy for him to
score higher," Arthur said. While Kohli has not played in Pakistan, he
enjoys a formidable record against them.
Last month, Kohli was crowned cricketer of the year by the ICC for completing a strong inning for the superstar batsman across all three formats of the game. Kohli is just the fourth Indian to win the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. It's been followed in the footsteps of great batmen’s Sachin Tendulkar (2010), Rahul Dravid (2004) and teammate Ravichandran Ashwin (2016). "It's the first time winning the Garfield Sobers Trophy, and it's a huge honor for me," Kohli said in a statement. "It's probably the biggest of all in world cricket and two Indians getting it back-to-back make it more special."
Kohli was also crowned the world's best one-day batsman, winning the title for the second time since 2012. During the voting the period from 21 September 2016 to end-2017, Kohli scored 2,203 Test runs at an average of 77.80 including eight centuries. He accumulated 1,818 runs in the one-day format including seven centuries. The 29-year-old was also presented a rare honor -- the selected captain of the ICC's Test and ODI. A team in his name only comprises the best players from around the globe. India emerged as the world's best Test side in 2017 under Kohli, with an unbroken series winning streak at home. He also leads the ODI and Twenty20 teams for the subcontinent.
