    Digital Desk: In the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup, which was played in Colombo in September, veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli showed his exceptional skills by hitting an incredible unbeaten 122 runs against Pakistan. Nine fours and three sixes were part of Kohli's impressive innings, which he completed in just 94 balls. As a result of Kohli's brilliant performance, the Men in Blue amassed a formidable total of 356/2 in the 50 overs they were given, leaving Pakistan struggling with just 128 runs in 32 overs.

    In the World Cup match between the two bitter rivals at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, Kohli aims to repeat his outstanding performance. With 195 runs scored in three games with an average of 64.33 and a strike rate of 91.03 versus Pakistan in ODI World Cup contests, the 34-year-old has a remarkable record. He has a century and a half of performance under his belt.

    Kohli needs to hit 119 runs in the forthcoming World Cup match on Saturday in order to exceed Tendulkar's total and take the lead among Indian batters with the most runs in the men's ODI World Cup against Pakistan.

    In 283 ODIs throughout his brilliant career, Kohli has amassed a staggering 13,223 runs while maintaining an amazing average of 57.74 and a strike rate of 93.63. 47 centuries and 68 half-centuries are included in his remarkable record.
