Asia Cup 2022: India vs Pakistan - Is Virat Kohli the greatest T20I batter?

King Kohli is back!

If the world thought his fifty against Hong Kong was a flash in the pan, against Pakistan, he once again proved why he's considered one of the greatest in this form of the game.

He recorded his 32nd T20I fifty against the Men in Green in Dubai, taking the top spot in terms of half-centuries in the shortest format. He is now ahead of his captain Rohit Sharma, who has 31 to his name.

It was also Kohli's 4th fifty against Pakistan in just 9 innings. His average of 68 against the Men in Green in the shortest format once again proves why he's Pakistan's biggest nemesis.

Having walked in to bat at 54/1, Kohli played the sheet anchor's role to perfection. While others perished trying to play the big shots, the former Indian captain kept going from his end.

If not for Kohli, India probably would have struggled despite the quickfire 54-run opening stand between Rohit Sharma & KL Rahul.

His 60 off 44 balls, a knock that included 4 fours and a six, was vital as India managed to sneak past the 180-run mark.
