Former Pakistan pacer Junaid Khan recalled his experience of playing against Indian batting star Virat Kohli where he had warned the 33-year-old before taking his wicket during his team's match against arch-rivals India.

Speaking on Nadir Shah’s podcast, Junaid said "I have taken wickets of so many batsmen but people always remember Virat Kohli’s wicket. We have played in the U-19 World Cup, we knew each other. It was my comeback series and I was playing against India for the first time."

"I got Kohli in the first match and he told me it will not happen again. I got him again in the second and third match. Before the third ODI at the breakfast table, I told him 'Virat you will not be spared today.’ Younis Khan was also there. He said get him out again today. Younis bhai took Virat’s catch,” said Junaid.

Junaid has dismissed the Indian star on 3 different occasions in a total of just 24 deliveries, conceding just 3 runs.
