Virat Kohli achieved newer heights during Asia Cup 2022
Kohli stepped down as T20I captain to focus on his game, which had taken a different path a while ago. The 33-year-old gave it his all but failed to deliver a memorable performance. However, the Asia Cup 2022 completely altered the scenario. He began with a 35-run knock against Pakistan in the first game, and then went on to score two half-centuries in a row, one against Hong Kong and one against Pakistan.
After being dismissed for a duck against Sri Lanka, he came back stronger than ever to break all boundaries and overcome all obstacles in the game against Afghanistan. Kohli went on to bat alongside KL Rahul and score a 61-ball 122*. He batted steadily throughout the 20-overs and set several records with his first T20I century. He will now be seen in India’s home series against Australia and South Africa before beginning preparations for the T20 World Cup.
